Question
Chapter 27, Problem 7P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The effects of Leptin on fat
Concept introduction:
Leptin plays a crucial role in regulating the intake of food, operating system and expenditure of energy. It is evident that leptin involves in the regulation of glucose and metabolism of lipid independent of the anorexic effect in the humans.

- Understanding the Oxidation of Glucose and Its Products in the TCA Cycle Glycolysis, the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction, and the TCA cycle result in complete oxidation of a molecule of glucose to CO2. Review the calculation of oxidation numbers for individual atoms in any molecule, and then calculate the oxidation numbers of the carbons of glucose, pyruvate, the acetyl carbons of acetyl-CoA. and the metabolites of the TCA cycle to convince yourself that complete oxidation of glucose involves removal of 24 electrons and that each acetyl-CoA through the TCA cycle gives up 8 electrons.arrow_forwardGlucagon secretion causes inhibition of intracellular acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity by several mechanisms.

- A number of genetic deficiencies in acyl CoA dehydrogenases have been described. This deficiency presents early in life after a period of fasting. Symptoms include vomiting, lethargy, and sometimes coma. Not only are blood levels of glucose low ( hypoglycemia), but starvation-induced ketosis is absent.
