Carnitine - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Functional Medicine Final Exam Questions And Answers All Verified What are the primary organic acid abnormalities that occur in carnitine deficiency? - ANS -adipate -suberate -methylmalonate What patterns of abnormalities discriminate mitochondrial inefficiency from ammonia challenge as a cause of citric acid elevation? - ANS -high citrate, aconitate, isocitrate + orotate indicates ammonia challenges -without orotate= mitochondrial inefficiency What patterns suggest a defic...

When does fatty acid oxidation occur? - ANSWERSWhen glucagon is high and insulin is low What does fatty acid oxidation do? - ANSWERSIt is a high energy yielding process that can support cellular needs in fasting and when excess energy is needed. How are free fatty acids used to produce ATP? - ANSWERSFFAs are shuttled into the mitochondria and are activated to acyl CoA derivatives, or fatty acyl CoA. These derivatives are transported across the outer mitochondrial membrane. They are then at...
