  • Catabolism of D/L Amino Acids

    Catabolism of D/L Amino Acids
    Dec 13 2025

    In nature, amino acids exist as two distinct isomers, designated D and L Isomers. These mirror images of one another are metabolized differently in the cell. Only L isomers are used in cellular protein synthesis. Most catabolic enzymes metabolize L-isomers only while D-isomers are metabolized by D-Amino acid oxidase.

  • FAT: The most Abundant Energy Depot in The Body - AI Podcast

    FAT: The most Abundant Energy Depot in The Body - AI Podcast
    Nov 28 2025

    This YouTube video transcript from "Metabolism Made Easy" highlights the significant role of fat reserves in the human body. The speaker emphasizes the substantial quantity of fat, primarily in the form of triacylglycerols (TAGs), stored within us. This reserve represents a considerable percentage of body mass and, crucially, an enormous energy depot. The transcript points out that the caloric potential of fat far surpasses that of both protein and glycogen, making it the body's most important long-term energy source.

  • The TCA Cycle: A Central Role in Metabolism

    The TCA Cycle: A Central Role in Metabolism
    Nov 22 2025

    In addition to providing significant energy through the oxidation of Acetyl CoA, the TCA cycle plays important roles in anabolic processes like gluconeogenesis, ketogenesis, fatty acid, and cholesterol biosynthesis by providing essential precursors for those processes.
