Overview of Amino Acid Metabolism

[@miamor995]

Thanks I passed my quiz without reading a chapter from Campbell

[@ashimadogra4523]

Lol the amino acids being ketogenic or glucogenic or both isn't a fun fact, It's a non-fun usmle fact that can get tested on. :P

[@kipling1957]

I'd call it an interesting fact at least. I think the word fun is grossly overused these days (like nice).

[@emmanuelhawela6281]

Your explanations are incredibly clear, thank you! Your biochemistry videos are some of the best on the internet

[@basedrobmusic4834]

Super helpful due to the fact you're putting everything together; not that split up stuff where you cannot see the whole process not knowing where the single steps lead to. Thanks a lot:)

[@stup3rdup3rman]

At 7:24, aren't fatty acids broken down to Acetyl-CoA to enter the Krebs Cycle? and not for Glucose production via gluconeogenesis? Or are you stating that this process produces ATP to assist in glucose production?

[@clairebaxter7110]

+jayant prasad I agree. glycerol can undergo gluconeogenesis but not fatty acids. i think maybe she was just using TAGs and fatty acids interchangeably (which isn't strictly correct)

[@Katsukisaud]

Claire Baxter glycerol will transfer into dihydroxyaceton, and can goes in TCA Cycle and also can be used to form a glucose or even fatty acids

[@muhammad.husnain6819]

isnt puruvate turned into Acetyl coa

Your voice is so fitting for this. thanks

[@Anesthesiology1001]

Thank you very much. Other examples (AA to Krebs) are alanine to pyruvate and aspartate to oxalo acetate. Alfa keto glutarate accepts 2 NH3 groups (into glutamate and glutamine). Glutamate and Glutamine are the NH3 transporters from periphery to liver.

[@jimoneali2589]

I want to ask a simple question why name the molecule an amino acid when the amine group accounts for only like 10% of the molecule and the body still tries to get rid of it..why not name it a carboxilyic acid/salt

@@juluatanaya Our bacteria does this, we have learned. As well, we now know that we have bacteria that also "contributes to the pool of essential amino acids...". This would include leucine - the supposed muscle making amino acid. What we knew in the era of Dr Rose - who started the whole essential thing, was not much in that we simply didn't have the tech - and so much was assumption. This stuff is not easy to google so if you need to save time i can link to the science folk who are making these findings. Several separate labs have now realized we can fix nitrogen.

[@oliverleslie7382]

What an amazing explanation!!! Thank you so much ma'am.

[@ricdwe]

Clearly, your presentation was not intended for the lay person. Oh well, guess these people need to acquire a degree in biology, biochemistry, pre-med, or the like. Many one else, looking for basic knowledge and understanding, on this channel, has come to the wrong place.

[@JJStone8435]

Why is Gluconeogenesis occurring in the fed state?

[@jortkroon1455]

shouldn't the amine group at 10:13 be NH3 without a positive charge? Or just NH-. I don't get why that group would be protonized, and if it is, why there is a +.

[@dippatel6499]

Thank you ! Thank you ! Thank you ! 5 years of med school and year of USMLE prep could not make me understand this as smoothly as u did. Thank you Dr. Jasmine.

[@joanitaeizenga4646]

You have written down that in the liver it is possible to use fatty acids for the synthesis of glucose. But this is not possible right? Glycerol is a substrate for the gluconeogenesis, but fatty acids are not. Or do you mean that they can be used to make ketones and not glucose?

[@aileniirina3335]

Isn't Glutamine arriving to the liver? I thought Glutamate was first converted in Glutamine then when glutamine arrives to the liver's mitochondria, it becomes back glutamate

[@swatian1401]

Tomorrow my quiz. Then I text how was my quiz 😂

[@Mustafa22417516]

Why are the carboxylic acids written as functional groups with an oxygen anion in the second part of the video? Is it just because or is there something to it?

[@codeshot1795]

Does protein synthesis occur in the third state, which you left out of your diagram, where you're eating but not eating soluble glucose or fructose so you've fed but are not in the "FED" state?

[@m7amad2000]

Is the ketogene aminoacids leucine and isoleucine?

[@saraseidel7]

+Simon Simone Yes, both of those are ketogenic, but so are phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan, threonine and lysine. What she said in the video as a fun fact is than lysine and leucine are the only two amino acids that are ONLY ketogenic, and not glucogenic as well.

[@yashtaparia7633]

Leucine and lysine only all 18 others glucogenic

[@MsSucka]

If Amino acids are ingested from a dietary source during the fasted state will the body still take amino acids from the muscles? Because most amino acids are non-caloric so it won't cause an increase in insulin thus keeping the fasted state.

[@ProductionBandit]

for an effects of diet on metabolism report i wrote, we saw a slight increase for glycogen content in the muscles and liver as well as a statistically significant increase in glucose-6-phosphatase activity from a high protein diet vs a control diet; from this information, i'd suggest that no, the body will not continue to take amino acids from the muscle as long as there is adequate energy provided from the dietary protein.

[@iacovo1911]

what application are you using for this presentation?

[@Cerbberos]

Conversion of protein to fat doesn't really happen, right? Even though the pathway still exists.

[@ProductionBandit]

it would probably happen in the case that you have excess amino acid levels from either dietary or usual protein synthesis pathways and don't need immediate energy, so the carbon skeleton from the degradation of the amino acids would enter the citric acid cycle and react with oxaloacetic acid to form citrate where it is then transported across the inner and outer membranes rather than fully oxidising and entering the electron transport chain. then it is degraded to oxaloacetate and acetyl-coa so it can be synthesised into fatty acids and then stored as a triacylglycerol. this is my speculation though.

[@clairebaxter7110]

Thanks for the video Jasmine, it's a huge help. Just curious - you mention that fatty acids can be broken down into glucose. I thought it was the glycerol section of TAGs that can be used for gluconeogenesis and that fatty acids could only be used for energy production?

[@yonderdog22]

aren't proteins broken down in the stomach? she said small intestines

[@alexciurej1542]

CHAINSONG protein catabolism begins in the stomach but continues into the S.I.

[@yonderdog22]

ok, that's what i thought---begins and is mostly completed in stomach by pepsin enzyme...maybe her statement is inaccurate..all good-thanks!

[@choochd]

But she's referring to anabolic and catabolic processes of Amino Acids, not the digestion of proteins...and the former occurs throughout the cells of your body. For example, in a fasted or starved state the body will catabolize muscle tissues in an effort to increase glucogenic or ketogenic processes.

[@oliverleslie7382]

It begins in the mouth - all digestive processes start with chewing

Oh my god... The liver is where it's at!

[@aba22125]

Exactly. That's why it explains we have so much obesity problems when we develop insulin resistance and fatty liver. They're basically the same thing. If the liver malfunctions, so does your metabolism.
