Destino del esqueleto de carbonos | Catabolismo de aminoácidos - Parte 2

Summary

This video delves into the metabolism of amino acids, highlighting their transformation into proteins, neurotransmitters, and other important compounds. It explains how amino acids are catabolized, where their carbon skeletons can be converted into glucose, acetyl-CoA, or intermediaries for the Krebs cycle, generating ATP. The video also addresses the consequences of excess amino acids, such as the formation of fatty acids, and links it to metabolic disorders. Additionally, it explores the role of amino acids in gluconeogenesis and ketogenesis during glucose shortages, showcasing their vital role in energy production and metabolic regulation.
