Essay Questions
130) Why is the citric acid cycle called a cycle? What substances enter the cycle, and what substances leave it?
Answer: The citric acid reaction sequence is a cycle because the four-carbon starting compound (oxaloacetic acid) is regenerated at the end. Acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetic acid begin the cycle combining to form citric acid, and then in a series of steps CO2, NADH, ATP, and FADH2 are released and oxaloacetic acid is regenerated to begin the cycle again.

131) Ketosis develops in the postabsorptive state. What is ketosis? Why does it develop? What metabolic effects does it have?
Answer: Ketosis is a high concentration of ketone bodies in body fluids. Ketone bodies are metabolites with the ketone group that form during starvation states. When glucose levels are low, the liver turns to fats and amino acids to make energy. This produces much acetyl-CoA ,which leads to production of ketone bodies. Because most ketone bodies are acidic, they lower the pH of body fluids, bringing on acidosis. If severe, the ketosis and acidosis can injure the CNS, heart, and other organs. In extreme cases, death can result.

132) The drug colestipol binds bile salts in the intestine, forming complexes that cannot be absorbed. How would this drug affect cholesterol levels in blood?
Answer: Colestipol would lead to a decrease in the plasma levels of cholesterol. Since the bile salts are bound they are not available for reabsorption in the large intestine and recycling to cholesterol in the liver and so will be lost in the feces. This deprives the body of a major source of cholesterol and the loss will need to be made up increased liver synthesis. Overall, a drop in circulating cholesterol will result.

133) What happens during protein catabolism? How is this related to nitrogen balance?
Answer: Protein catabolism is the breakdown of proteins cellular proteases and peptidases into constituent amino acids. These amino acids can be either reused for protein synthesis (anabolism) or broken down via deamination and used to make glucose or directly used in the citric acid cycle to make energy. Deamination removes the nitrogen group from the amino acid, which is then excreted as ammonia or urea. This is a negative nitrogen balance.

134) Briefly outline the role of the liver in glucose metabolism.
Answer: During the absorptive state, under insulin control, the liver takes in glucose and converts it to glycogen, the inert storage form. In the postabsorptive state, the liver releases glucose into the circulation to maintain homeostasis. The glucose comes from the glycogenolysis or gluconeogenesis. Additionally, the liver converts lactic acid released from skeletal muscle back into glucose. Epinephrine, growth hormone, glucagon, glucocorticoids, and other hormones trigger glucose release.

135) List and briefly describe the body’s five metabolic components.
Answer: The body has five metabolic components: the liver, adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, neural tissue, and other peripheral tissues. The liver is the focal point for metabolic regulation and control. Adipose tissue stores lipids, primarily in the form of triglycerides. Skeletal muscle contains substantial glycogen reserves, and the contractile proteins can be degraded and the amino acids used as an energy source. Neural tissue does not contain energy reserves; glucose must be supplied to it for energy. Other peripheral tissues are able to metabolize glucose, fatty acids, or other substrates under the direction of the endocrine system.
