1 Describe the major steps and organs involved in lipid metabolism. 2 Describe ketogenesis and the role that ketone bodies play in normal physiological situations and pathophysiological situations like ketoacidosis. 3 Describe how metabolic processes are influenced by hormonal control (including which hormones serve energy storage versus mobilization roles). 4 Compare the absorptive and postabsorptive states in terms of glucose use and nutrient transport.

Step 1
Lipid metabolism involves several major steps and organs. The process begins with the digestion of dietary fats in the small intestine, where lipids are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol by enzymes called lipases. These products are then absorbed into the Show more…

1. Detail the steps of protein digestion and absorption including key hormones, proenzymes, enzyme activators, enzymes, end products, and absorption for single AAs, di- and tri-peptides 2. Outline the 3 pathways used to remove nitrogenous waste from the blood, include all enzymes, products, reactants, and steps that involve ATP investment 3. Name the ketone bodies and characteristics of a ketogenic diet. Describe the metabolic factors contributing to the formation of ketones, what pathways are more or less active- why?
