Chapter 9, Problem 51TQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason behind the increased energy production from fatty acids during the activation of pyruvate carboxylase.
Introduction:
The citric acid cycle is used to release the chemical energy stored in acetyl-CoA (coenzyme A), which is formed from pyruvate by the action of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. The citric acid cycle is regulated by controlling citrate synthase, isocitrate dehydrogenas, end alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase.

Prostaglandins are responsible for producing fever and inflammation and its associated pain. They are derived from the 20-carbon fatty acid arachidonic acid in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. This enzyme, a cyclooxygenase, uses oxygen to convert arachidonic acid to PGG2, the immediate precursor of many different prostaglandins.
