Phospholipids perform a number of important biological functions. Like most polar lipids, they are amphiphilic compounds carrying hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups. Some phospholipids, for example phosphatidylcholine, are dipolar ions with cationic and anionic groups, and they are the main components of cellular membrane systems. Determine the name of the glycerophospholipid CH2OCOC17H35 │ CHOCOC17H31 │ CH2OPO2HOCH2CH2NH2

A 3 year old child had a severe viral illness, a few days later there were repeated vomiting, loss of consciousness and convulsions. Laboratory blood tests revealed hyperammonemia.

what is it hyperammonemia? when there is hyperammonemia? Inc^ NH3 in blood Metabolic fate of ammonia. Formation of urea, amination of ketoacid, Glutamate to glutamine, ketogluterate to glutamate Transport of ammonia. NH3+Glutamate -> glutamine  -> glutamate +NH3--->urea cycle (tissue blood liver) Reactions of urea cycle. Significance of urea cycle. Dec^ NH3 and make it safe for excretion Regulation of urea cycle . Carbonyl phosphate syanthesis-> rate controling enzyme Metabolic inborn errors of urea cycle 6 enzymes of the cycle CPS1, NAGS, OTC, AS, ASL, AG
