Energy Production and Metabolism — Flashcards

Alpha-ketoglutarate is converted to _____ via the enzyme alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase

Destruction of phagocytosed material occurs through _____, which utilizes O2 as a substrate

Conversion of isocitrate into α-ketoglutarate releases a molecule of _____ and NADH

Increased NADH/NAD+ (e.g. due to ethanol) causes increased conversion of _____ -> lactate, thus increasing risk for lactic acidosis

_____ is converted to acetyl CoA by the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase

Conversion of α-ketoglutarate into succinyl CoA releases a molecule of _____ and NADH

Electrons from complex _____ and II of the ETC are transferred to Coenzyme Q, also known as ubiquinone

_____ may inhibit the ETC by binding Fe3+, preventing transfer of electrons to O2 in complex IV

Thyroid Peroxidase is involved in the first part of T4 synthesis, specifically by catalyzing the addition of _____ to tyrosine residues on thyroglobulin
