So in uworld, it states- acyl-CoA carboxylase is the first rate-limiting enzyme in FA synthesis. During prolonged fasting and starvation, metabolism shifts from synthesis to breakdown of fats by suppresion of of acyl-CoA carboxylase.
In first aid 2012, pg 101, it says that acetyl-CoA carboxylase is rate determining enyzme....
Can there be 2 rate limiting enzymes in FA synthesis? so confused:scared:

Members don't see this ad.

I've noticed that too when I got to that Uworld question. I'm assuming its either a typo or that acyl-CoA Carboxylase and synonymous with Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase
