Leptin
• Stimulates energy use and limiting food intake
Adiponectin
• Modulates glucose and lipid metabolism in muscle and liver
• Enhances the sensitivity of tissues to insulin.
In adipose tissue glucose
a)oxidation to CO2 (TCA)
b)oxidation in PPP
,
c)conversion to long-chain fatty acids b
Insulin
• Inhibition: release of FFA from adipose tissue → plasma [FFA]
• Increase: lipogenesis
ox. of glucose by PPP to CO2
pyruvate dehydrogenase, AcetylCoA Carboxylase activities
13
acetyl-CoA carboxylase activation; AMP
inhibition of carnitine
palmitoyl transferase I by
malonyl-CoA
Prevents newly
synthesized FA away from
mitochondria, β-oxidation
Short-term regulation
• Substrate availability, allosteric interactions, covalent
modification (phosphorylation)
Long-term regulation
• the amount of enzyme
• Changes in the rates of protein synthesis and/or breakdown.
• Synthesis of ACC and FAS, adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase
stimulation by insulin and inhibition by starvation
