1. There are two metabolic routes for the conversion of oxaloacetate to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP). What factors likely indicate which route is used? Do the two routes have different requirements for cellular energy (e.g. ATP)? 2. Compare the export of glucose from hepatocytes to the import into hepatocytes. 3. Would you expect anaplerotic reactions to be active in the postprandial hepatocyte? Why?

There is a proposal that pyrazole could protect against the damaging effects of alcohol on the liver that resultfrom prolonged decrease in the ratio of [NAD+]/[NADH] caused by the oxidation of alcohol. ( NAD+ isrequired for several key dehydrogenation steps in the pathway of glucose synthase. NADH promotes theaccumulation of fat in the liver cells) Assuming that pyrazole is not toxic and that it is transported to the liver,evaluate its potential as an antidote to liver damage in treating chronic alcoholism. Would it be a reasonabletherapeutical candidate? Explain. Please explain and please don't copy bartleyby answer.

5. When the acetyl-CoA produced during B-oxidation in the liver exceeds the capacity of the citric acid cycle, the excess acetyl-CoA forms ketone bodies-acetone, acetoacetate, and D-b-hydroxybutyrate. This occurs in severe, uncontrolled diabetes: because the tissues cannot use glucose, they oxidize large amounts of fatty acids instead. Although acetyl-CoA is not toxic, the mitochondrion must divert the acetyl-CoA to ketone bodies. What problem would arise if acetyl-CoA were not converted to ketone bodies? How does the diversion to ketone bodies solve the problem?
