Triacylglycerol
Fatty acids
Acetyl CoA
TCA
CO2
Overview of lipid
metabolism
»Fatty acids are stored as Triacylglycerol
»Constitute 84% of stored energy
+Protein - 15%
+Carbohydrate (glucose or glycogen) - <1%
»Fatty acids mobilized from Triacylglycerol are
oxidized to meet the energy needs of a cell
Mobilization of FA from TG into tissues
(Adrenalin, Glucagon, ACTH)

Acetyl-CoA
ENERGETICS OF COMPLETE OXIDATION OF PALMITIC ACID
Oxidation 7 cycles
7 FADH
2 x 2ATP/FADH

7 NADH + H

x 3ATP/NADH 21 (17.5)
From 8 acetyl CoA
Each acetyl CoA provides 12 ATP by TCA cycle96 (80)
Total ATP produced from one palmitic acid 131 (108)
Total ATP used for activation 2
NET YIELD OF ATP 129 (106)

It is a minor pathway
Takes place in microsomes
Involves oxidation of last
carbon atom ( ω carbon)
More common with
medium chain fatty acids
