What are the direct products of Beta Oxidation? correct answer: NADH FADH2 Acetyl CoA What does Acetyl CoA get used for correct answer: ketogenesis allosterically activates Pyruvate Carboxylase An 11yo girl is brought into the emergency department by her father. He reports that she has recently been very thirsty and needing to make frequent trips to the bathroom. At her soccer game today, she complained of lightheadedness and symptoms did not resolve even after drinking a power bevera...

Carnitine palmitoyl transferase - ANSWERS- transfers acyl groups from CoA to carnitine & vice versa - inhibited by malonyl-CoA ketone bodies - ANSWERS- acetoacetate, β-hydroxybutyrate, acetone - oxidized as fuel source in extreme fasting d-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase - ANSWERSinterconversion of acetoacetate and 3-hydroxybutyrate acetone - ANSWERSyielded by spontaneous decarboxylation of acetoacetate; waste product acetoacetate and 3-hydroxybutyrate - ANSWERS- ketone bodies pro...

Advanced Patho NURS 5315 exam 1 action potential The process by which excitable cells transmit information from one to another. How is the action potential altered by a potassium imbalance? (Hyperkalemia) The ECF has more K+ ions. The membrane potential becomes more positive (hypopolarized). Cells become MORE excitable. T waves peak. QRS complexes widen. Causes dysrhythmias, weakness, paresthesia. {If membrane potential becomes equal to threshold potential cardiac standstill occurs}...

What are the main products of beta oxidation? correct answer: 1 NADH, 1 FADH, 1 Acetyl CoA So in the case of an 11-year-old girl brought to the emergency department by her father, he's reporting that she's been very thirsty and needing to make frequent strips to the bathroom. Today, she reported lightheadedness during a soccer game and symptoms did not resolve after drinking a power beverage. A rapid dipstick test revealed glucose in her urine and further diagnosis are consistent with a di...
