Thanks to caller Jack (pronounced "jacque") for calling in last week!

For the next 2 weeks, 4/19 and 4/26, I will be training for my clinical hospital internship so luckily the amazing DJ LORRAINE :) will skillfully take over with her loads of experience. Hopefully I don't get booed off the air after dj Lorraine shows off her skills ;)

Finals are over :)

Hi everyone,
(shoutout to LARC tutees)

I had FIVE finals these past 2 weeks so I haven't had any free time whatsoever: This is what I remember from memory as I'm writing this post:

1. glycolysis: hexokinase, pgi, pfk1, aldolase (schiff base), tpi, GAPDH poisoned by arsenate, PGK, PGM, enolase, PK.
2. gluconeogenesis: Pyruate carboxylase uses biotin, pepck uses a gtp, f16bpase, g6pase
3. pdh: e1- co2 e2- acetyl Coa, e3- nadh
4. TCA: citrate synthase, aconitase, isocitrate dh, kgdh, succinyl Coa synthetase, succinate dh, fumarase, malate dh
5. fatty acid oxidation: LIPASE into glycerol + free fatty acid: fatty acyl Coa Synthetase, link to carnitine, transport to mito, beta oxidation: acyl Coa dh, enoyl coa hydratase, hydroxyacyl coa dh, 3 beta ketothiolase
6. fatty acid biosynthesis: acc, FAS: acp with PPT, mat, ks, kr, dh, er, te
7. Amino acid degradation: amino transferase, glutamine synthetase, glutaminase, glutamate dehydrogenase (and alanine aminotransferase)
8. urea cycle: pre = carbomoyl phosphate synthetase, OTC, arginosuccinate synthetase , arginosuccinase = aspartate arginosuccinate shunt of the citric acid cycle, arginase

WOW THAT was a lot from MEMORY without looking!!! What a quarter.

Hope yours wasn't as stressful!

Hey all!

So by the third show on Jan 25, 2009, I think I finally got everything now machine-wise with those machines! but you never know what malfunctions could still happen...

Thanks for all those who called in so early in the morning, you're all awesome. If you guys have any questions/comments you would like me to respond on air next week, send them to me at randyluu@kuci.org. Seriously, send me anything!

This is an example of one question someone anonymously sent me last week. Thanks whoever sent it and sorry to hear. I'll answer it next week:

"Randy!! i recently found out my roommatd [roommate] has been using my bars of soap, I find it disturbing cus its dirty ewww :( :(. How can I confront this issue? (for your info - I use her printer paper so I don’t know how to [tell] her [to stop])"
