Fatty acids as a fuel
Fatty acids are the preferred fuel for most tissues
Fatty acids can only be metabolised aerobically
Red blood cells can’t use fatty acids as they don’t have mitochondria
Neurons can’t use fatty acids as they are unable to cross the blood brain barrier

Fatty acid activationFatty acids are activated for
oxidation by attachment to CoA
R-COO-+ATP+CoA-SH R-C-S-CoA +AMP + PPi

-Oxidation

Regulation of -oxidation
In general, the catabolism of fatty acids is regulated by supply
In muscle, the availability of substrates for -oxidation can be controlled at several points:
1) Transport across the sarcolemma
2) Transport into the mitochondria
3) Hydrolysis of local fat stores

1) Transport across the sarcolemma
FABPpm FAT (fatty acid translocase)
after fasting
with exercise
can translocate to membrane from vesicles
translocation stimulated by muscle contraction

Energy yield from the oxidation of palmitate (16:0)
Aerobic oxidation of glucose: ~36 ATP

Exercise Metabolism
Exercise puts significant energy demands on the body
Different types of exercise require the mobilisation and differential processing of different fuels
Tissue needs during exercise can be met by:
1) intracellular high energy molecules
2) local stores of fuel macromolecules
3) remote stores of fuel macromolecules
4) synthesis of fuel molecules in certain tissues

ATP can be generated by several metabolic pathways
during exerciseGlycolysis (aerobic and anaerobic)
-oxidation
Creatine phosphate
creatine phosphate + ADP creatine + ATP
G ~ 0
CK
CK = creatine kinase

Fuel use is related to exercise intensity

The take home message: Fatty acids are a widely used fuel
Fatty acids are catabolised by -oxidation to yield acetyl-CoA
-oxidation is mainly regulated by the delivery of substrate
Exercise increases the requirement for ATP Different types of exercise utilise different energy producing pathways
