Connection between metabolism of fats and carbonhydrates?

Featured Replies

Hello :)

 

I am curently second year of Molecular biology and i have got this question to answer.

 

I would appreciate if someone could tell me , the very basics of it. Thank you :)

Fatty acids are broken down into acetyl CoAs in the mitochondria via beta oxidation and fed into the Kreb's cycle.

 

Citrate synthase metabolises OAA and Acetyl-CoA into Citrate.


In reverse, citrate can exit the Kreb's cycle via fatty acid synthesis.

The question is huge. A proper answer could be found by reading specific portions of several chapters in a standard biochemistry textbook.
