This document discusses biological oxidation and the electron transport chain. It notes that biological oxidation produces energy and occurs through the removal of electrons, hydrogen, or oxygen. The electron transport chain transfers electrons from substrates to oxygen via a series of carriers and enzyme complexes with increasing redox potentials. This establishes an electrochemical gradient that is used by ATP synthase to phosphorylate ADP and produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. Inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation can block specific sites on the electron transport chain or the phosphorylation process more generally.

Down syndrome (DS or DNS), also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21. It is typically associated with physical growth delays, characteristic facial features and mild to moderate intellectual disability. The average IQ of a young adult with Down syndrome is 50, equivalent to the mental ability of an 8- or 9-year-old child, but this can vary widely.
Facial pain is pain felt in any part of the face, including the mouth and eyes.
It’s normally due to an injury or a headache, occasionally facial pain may also be due to neurological or vascular causes, but equally well may be dental in origin.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.

Bioenergetics biological oxidation
1.
2. Biological oxidation is that oxidation which occurs in biological
systems to produce energy.
Oxidation can occurby:
1-Addition of oxygen (less common)
2-Removal of hydrogen (common)
3-Removal of electrons (most common)
Electrons are not stable in the free state, so their removal form a
substance (oxidation) must be accompanied by their acceptance
by another substance (reduction) hence the reaction is called
oxidation-reduction reaction or redox reaction and the involved
enzymes are called oxido-reductases
3. Redox potential
It is the affinity of a substance to accept electrons i.e. it is the
potential for a substance to become reduced.
Hydrogen has the lowest redox potential (-0.42 volt), while
oxygen has the highest redox potential (+0.82 volt). The redox
potentials of all other substances lie between that of hydrogen and
oxygen.
Electrons are transferred from substances with low redox
potential to substances with higher redox potential. This transfer
of electrons is an energy yielding process and the amount of
energy liberated depends on the redox potential difference
between the electron donor and acceptor.
4. Oxido-reductases
These enzymes catalyze oxidation- reduction
reactions.
They are classified into five groups:
1- oxidases . 2- aerobic dehydrogenises.
3-anaerobic dehydrogenises.
4- hydroperoxidases and
5-oxygenases.
7. The coenzyme of aerobic dehydrogenases may be:
•FMN (Flavin adenine mononucleotide) as in L-amino acid
oxidase.
•FAD (Flavin adenine dinucleotide) as in D-amino acid oxidase,
xanthine oxidase, aldehyde dehydrogenase and glucose oxidase.
9. They can use artificial substrate (dye) as hydrogen acceeptor.

10. Anaerobic dehydrogenases are further classified according to their coenzymes into:
•.
• NAD+ linked anaerobic dehydrogenases e.g.
a)Cytoplasmic glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase
b)Isocitrate dehydrogenase.
c)Malate dehydrogenase.
d)β- Hydroxy acyl CoA dehydrogenase.
e)β- Hydroxy butyrate dehydrogenase.
•NADP linked anaerobic dehydrogenases e.g.
a)Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.
b)Malic enzyme.
c)Cytoplasmic isocitrate dehydrogenase
•FAD linked anaerobic dehydrogenases e.g.
a)Succinate dehydrogenase.
b)Mitochondrial glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
c)Acy1 CoA dehydrogenase.
11. •Cytochromes :-
All cytochromes are anaerobic dehydrogenases except cytochrome oxidase
(cyt a3), which is an oxidase and cytochrome P450 that is mono-oxygenase
(hydroxylase).
•Ubiquinol (coenzyme Q) dehydrogenase, which is
present in the respiratorychain.
12. 4.Hydroperoxidases
These enzymes use hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as substrate changing it into
water to get rid of its harmful effects.
They are further classified into peroxidases and catalases.
•Peroxidases: These enzymes need a reduced substrate as hydrogen donor
peroxidase
H2O2 + XH2 (reduced substrate) ----------→ X(oxidized substrate) + 2 H2O
Example:-Glutathione peroxidase gets rid of H2O2 from red cells to protect them
from haemolysis
Glutathione Peroxidase
H2O2 + 2 G-S H -----------→ 2H2O + G-S-S-G
13. •Catalases: These enzymes act on 2 molecules of hydrogen peroxide; one
molecule is hydrogen donor & the other molecule is hydrogen accepetor.
2H2O2 + catalase ---------→ 2H2O + O2
N.B. Hydrogen peroxide is continuously produced by the action of aerobic
dehydrogenases and some oxidases. It is also produced by action of
superoxide dismutase on superoxide (O•2). It is removed by the action of
peroxidases and catalases to protect cells against its harmful effects.

15. 5.Oxgenases
These enzymes catalyze direct incorporation (addition) of oxygen into
substrate.
They are further classified into dioxygenases and monooxygenases.
A. Dioxygenases (true oxgenases)
These enzymes catalyze direct incorporation of two atoms of oxygenmolecule
into substrate e.g. tryptophan pyrrolase, homnogentisic acid dioxygenase,
carotenase and β- hydroxy anthranilic acid dioxygenase .

17. cytochrome P450
Functions of microsomal cytochrome P450
1-It is important for detoxication of xenobiotics by hydroxylation. e.g.
insecticides,carcinogens,mutagens and drugs.
2-It is also important for metabolism of some drugs by hydroxylation e.g.
morphine, aminopyrine, benzpyrine and aniline.
drug-H + O2 + XH→2 drug-OH + H2O + X
Function of mitochondrial cytochrome P450
1 It has a role in biosynthesis of steroid hormones from cholesterol in adrenal
cortex, testis, ovary and placenta by hydroxylation
2It has a role in biosynthesis of bile acids from cholesterol in the liver by
hydroxylation at C26 by 26 hydroxylase.
3 It is important for activation of vitamin D
18. CytochromeP450
It is a group of hydroxylases which are collectively referred to as cytochrome
P450.
They are so called because their reduced forms exhibit an intense absorption
band at wavelength 450 nm when complexed to carbon monoxide.
They are conjugated protein containing haeme (haemoproteins).
According to their intracellular localization they may be classified into:
•Microsomal cytochrome P450.
It is present mainly in the microsomes of liver cells. It represents about 14% of
the microsomal fraction of liver cells.
•Mitochondrial cytochrome P450.
It is present in mitochondria of many tissues but it is particularly abundant in
liver and steroidogenic tissues as adrenal cortex, testis, ovary, placenta and
kidney.
19. ElectronTransportChain
Electron transport chain is a chain of catalysts
(enzymes & coenzymes )arranged in stepwise of
increasing redox potential. It collects reducing
equivalents (hydrogen atoms and electrons) from
substrates transferring it stepwise to be oxidized in
a final reaction with oxygen to form water and
energy. It is also known as redox chain or
respiratory chain
The electron carrier are found withinfour
membrane-bound enzyme-complexes, which are
imbedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane
20. Componentsoftheelectrontransport chain
The electron transport chain is formed of :-
•Hydrogen and electron carriers.
•Four membrane-bound enzyme complexes
Hydrogen and electron carriers of the electron transport chain
1- NAD+ :-
It receives two hydrogen atoms (2H) from substractes as isocitrate,
malate, β-hydroxy acy1 CoA and β-hydroxy butyrate.
Its reduced form (NADH+H+) passes its hydrogen to flavoprotein
containing FMN and iron sulfur protein (FeS).
21. 2-Flavoproteins
FAD and FMN serve as hydrogen carriers, which are tightly bound
to flavoproteins in a manner that prevents its reduced form
reacting with oxygen directly.
There are many types of flavoproteins that have a role in electron
transport chain Flavoprotein Fp1 containing FMN receives two
hydrogen atoms from reduced NAD+ passing them to coenzyme
Q.
Flavoprotein Fp2 containing FAD receives two hydrogen atoms
from substrates as succinate, acyl CoA passing them to
coenzyme Q.
22. 3- Ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q) :-
Ubiquinones are a group of compounds containing quinine ring but vary according
to number of isoprene units at the side chain.
It is a small molecule collecting reducing equivalents from the more fixed
component of the respiratory chain.
Ubiquinone can carry two hydrogen atoms forming ubiquinol (reduced coenzyme Q)
or one hydrogen atom forming semiquinone. So, it forms a bridge between flavoproteins,
which can carry 2 hydrogen atoms, and cytochrome b.
Reduced coenzyme Q passes the electrons to cytochrome b and releases 2H+ into
the mitochondrial matrix.
The oxidation of ubiquinol involves the successive action of 2 enzymes:
1- Ubiquinol (coenzyme Q) dehydrogenase which transfers electrons to cytochrome
c. it needs cyt b, FeS protein and cyt c1 as coenzymes .
2-Cytochrome oxidase, which transfers electrons from cyt c to oxygen. It needs cyt aas
coenzymes.
23. 4- Cytochromes :-
They are electron carrier transferring electrons from coenzyme Q to
oxygen.They have given letter designation a, b and c according to their order of
discovery. All cytochromes are haemoproteins but they differ in redox potential.
The haeme in cytochromes differs from that of haemoglobin as the iron
atom oscillates between oxidation and reduction during the physiological
action of cytochromes, while the iron of haemoglobin remains in the reduced
form during its physiological action.
Cytochrome c is a water soluble, peripheral membrane protein. It is
relatively mobile.
Cytochrome a & cyt a3 contains copper in addition to the haeme group.
N.B. the mobile components of the electron transport chain include
coenzyme Q and cytochrome c. they collect reducing equivalents from the other
fixed components.
24. 5-Iron sulfur protein :-
It is an additional component found in the electron transport chain.
It is also called FeS or none- haeme iron. It consists of a cluster of
cysteine residues which complex iron through covalent bonds with
the sulfur of cysteine.
It is associated with the flavoproteins(FAD &FMN) and cytochrome b.
The sulfur and iron are thought to take part in the oxidation-
reduction mechanism between flavoprotein and coenzyme Q as
the iron atom in these complexes oscillates between oxidation and
reduction that allow them to either give up or accept electrons.
26. The enzymes of the electron transport chain are organized in the inner
mitochondrial membrane in the form of four enzyme complexes.
The four enzyme complexes of the electron transport chain are:
Complex I: NADH dehydrogenase (NADH-uniquinone oxidoreductase)
It is a flavoprotein that contains FMN as well as FeS protein as coenzymes.
It transfers hydrogen atoms from NADH+H+ to uniquinone.
Complex II: Succinate dehydrogenase (succinate-uniquinone
oxidoreductase)
It is a flavoprotein that contains FAD as well as FeS protein as coenzymes.
It transfers hydrogen atoms from succinate to uniquinone .
Complex III: Ubiquinol dehydrogenase (ubiquinol-cytochromec
oxidoreductase).
It transfers electrons from ubiquinol to cytochrome c using cyt b and cytc1as
coenzymes.
Complex IV: Cytochrome oxidase (cytochrome-oxygen oxidoreductase)
It transfers electrons from cytochrome c tooxygen.
It needs cyt a and cyt a3ascoenzymes.
27. In addition to these four enzyme complexes, there is fifth complex
(complex V) which is the ATP synthase that responsible for biosynthesis
of ATP from ADP and inorganicphosphate.
28. Sequenceofeventsintheelectrontransport chain
The hydrogen atoms produced from oxidation of substrates
can enter the chain through FAD or NAD+.
The hydrogen atoms are then successively transferred through
the respiratory chain to oxygen to produce water and energy. the
sequence of events that occurs in the electron transport chain will
be shown in the following diagram
29.
30. Oxidative Phosphorylation
It means coupling of the electron transport in respiratory chain with
phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP. It is a process by which the energy of
biological oxidation is ultimately converted to the chemical energy ofATP.
There are 3sites of the chain that can give enough energy for ATPsynthesis.
These sites are:
Site I between FMN and coenzyme Q at enzyme complex I.
Site II between cyt b and cyt c1 at enzyme complex III.
Site III between cyt a and cyt a3 at enzyme complex IV.
The number of ATP generated depends on the site at which the substrate is
linked to the respiratorychain:
If the substrate is linked to chain through FAD, 2 ATP are formed for
each molecule oxidized. If the substrate is linked to chain through
NAD+, 3ATP are formed for each molecule oxidized.
31. P/O ratio
It is ratio of the number of molecules of ADP converted
to ATP
to the number of oxygen atoms utilized byrespiratory
chain.
It is a measure to the efficiency of oxidative
phosphorylation.
It is 3/1if NADH+H+is used and 2/1if FADH2is used.
32. Mechanismofoxidativephosphorylation
There are 2 theories explaining this mechanism :-
1 Chemical theory :-
It suggests that there is a direct chemical coupling of oxidation and
phosphorylation through high-energy intermediate compounds. This theory is
not accepted, as postulated high-energy intermediate compounds were never
found.
2 Chemiosomotic theory :-
It suggest that the transfer of electrons through the electrons transport chain
causes protons to be translocated (pumped out) from the mitochondrial matrix to
the intermembrane space at the three sites of ATP production (I , III, IV) (i.e. it
acts as a proton pump) resulting in an electrochemical potential difference across
the inner mitochondrial membrane. The electrical potential difference is due
to accumulation of the positively charged hydrogen ions outside the
membrane and the chemical potential difference is due to the difference in
pH, being more acidic outside the membrane .
33. In order for oxidative phosphorylation to proceed, two
principal conditions must be met. First, the inner
mitochondrial membrane must be physically intact so
that protons can only reenter the mitochondrion by a
process coupled to ATP synthesis. Second, a high
concentration of protons must be developed on the
outside of the inner membrane.
The 2electrons from NADH generate a 6-proton gradient. The
energy of the gradient is used to driveATP synthesis as the
protons are transported back down
Electrons return to the mitochondrion through the
integral membrane protein known as ATP synthase (or
Complex V).
36. A-Specific-site
inhibitors
They block the oxidation process at specific sites on the
respiratory chain (at one of the 3 sites of ATP production).
1. Site 1 inhibitors :-
These are substances that inhibit electron transport fromreduced
FMN to coenzyme Q.
They include:
1-Rotenone (insecticide and fish poisoning).
2-Chloropromazine (tranquilizer).
3 Barbiturates (hypnotic).
4 Alkyl guanidine (hypotensive).
37. 2- Site II inhibitors :-
These are substances that inhibit electron transport from reduced cyt b to cyt c1.
They include:
1 Antimycin A (antibiotic).
2 BAL (British Anti Lewisite). It is dithioglycerol, an antagonist for an old
war gas.
3 Dimercaprol.
4 Phenformine (hypoglycemic).
5 Napthoquinone.
3 Site III inhibitors :-
These are substances that inhibit electron transport from reduced cyt ba to cyt a3.
They include:
1Cyanide.
2Carbon monoxide (CO).
3-Hydrogen sulphide (H2S).
4- Sodium azide.
38. B- Non specific-site inhibitors :-
They function primarily by blocking phosphorylation, but they
prevent the whole process of oxidative phosphorylation e.g.
•Oligomycin (antibiotic) that inhibits ATPsynthase enzyme .
•Atractyloside (herbicide) that inhibits ADP/ ATPtransporter which
is responsible for the transport of ADP into the mitochondria and
the transport ATPout of the mitochondria.

barbiturates e– transport inhibitor Complex I
Antimycin A e– transport inhibitor Complex III
Cyanide e– transport inhibitor Complex IV
Carbon Monoxide e– transport inhibitor Complex IV
Azide e– transport inhibitor Complex IV
2,4,-dinitrophenol Uncoupling agent transmembrane H+ carrier
Pentachlorophenol Uncoupling agent transmembrane H+ carrier
Oligomycin Inhibits ATP synthase ATP synthase
40. Uncouplers
They are substances that dissociate oxidation from
phosphorylation leading to loss of the resulting energy as heat.
There is normal oxygen consumption without ATP generation and
P/O ratio becomes zero.
Uncoupling agents act as lipophilic weak acids, associatingwith
protons on the exterior of mitochondria, passing through the
membrane with the bound proton, and dissociating the proton on
the interior of the mitochondrion. These agents cause maximum
respiratory rates but the electron transport generates no ATP,since
the translocated protons do not return to the interior throughATP
synthase.
Example of the uncouplers include:
2,4 dinitrophenol.
Dinitrocrisol.
Pentachlorophenol.
Calcium injection.
Thyroid hormones.
41. BrownAdiposeTissueandHeatGeneration
The uncoupling of proton flow releases the energy of the
electrochemical proton gradient as heat. This process is a normal
physiological function of brown adipose tissue. Brown adipose tissue
gets its color from the high density of mitochondria in the individual
adipose cells. Newborn babies contain brown fat in their neck and
upper back .
The process of thermogenesis in brown fat is initiated by the release of
free fatty acids from the triglycerides stored in the adiposecells.
The mitochondria in brown fat contain a protein called uncoupling
protein 1,UCP1 (also called thermogenein)which responsible for fatty
acid oxidation & heat production in brown adipose tissue of mammals
in response to cold sensation . UCP1 acts as a channel in the inner
mitochondrial membrane to control the permeability of the membrane
to protons
42.
43. OxidationofCytoplasmicNADH+H+
NADH+H+ is continuously formed in the cytoplasm by glycolysis
and it must be oxidized to regenerate cytoplasmic NAD+ which is
important for the process of glycolysis to proceed normally.
In the absence of oxygen :-
Toregenerate NAD+ under anaerobic conditions, two electrons are
transferred from each NADH+H+molecule to pyruvic acid forming lactic acid by
the action of the lactate dehydrogenase enzyme(LDH).
LDH
pyruvic acid + NADH+H+ --→ lactic acid +NAD+
Anaerobic bacteria and yeasts reduce pyruvic acid to ethanol andCO2
with oxidation of NADH+H+to NAD+ by the alcohol dehydrogenase
enzyme, thereby regenerating NAD+.
44. •In the presence of oxygen
The inner mitochondrial membrane is impermeable to NADH+H+. Therefore,
NADH+H+ produced during glycolysis cannot pass directly into the
mitochondria to be oxidized. Two shuttles serve to transport reducing
equivalent from NADH+H+ in cytosol to the electron teansport chain in
mitochondria; glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle and malate aspartate shuttle.
1-Glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle:-
46. Energyfromoxidationofcytosolic NADH+H+
•Cytosolic NADH+H+ is oxidized by lactate
dehydrogenase in absence of oxygen and gives no
energy but serves to regenerate NAD+.
•Glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle generates 2 ATP for every
cytosolic NADH+H+ molecule oxidized, as FADH2
bypasses the first phosphorylation site in the electron
transport chain.
•Malate aspartate shuttle generates 3 ATP for every
cytosolic NADH+H+ molecule oxidized. So, it is more
efficient than the glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle.
47. Mitochondrialtransportsystem:
•ATP–ADP - transport: The inner mitochondrial membrane requires
specialized carriers to transport ADP & Pi from the cytosol into mitochondria
where ATP can be resyntheasized. An adenine nucleotide carrier transports
one molecule of ADP from the cytosol into mitochondria & exporting one ATP
from mitochondria to cytosol. This carrier protein is strongly inhibited by
herbicides. The result is no ADP inside mitochondria so no ATP production.
•Transport of reducing equivalents
•Pyruvate transport system utilizes H+ that neutralizes -ve charges of
Pyruvate.
•Carnitine transport system for long chain fatty acids.
48. ATP
It is adenosine triphosphate, a nucleotide formed of adenine, ribose and 3
inorganic phosphates. It is a high energy phosphate compound .
ATP production :-
The energy needed for ATP synthesis is mostly obtained from:
1 Oxidative phosphorylation :-
in which the electrons produced by oxidation of foodstuffs are transferred through the
electron transport chain to react finally with oxygen and the produced energyis utilized
for ATP synthesis.
2 Substrate level phosphorylation:-
ATP can be formed by transferring the high energy from substrates directly toADP.
ATP is formed at substrate levels from:
1-1,3diphosphoglycerate by phosphoglycerate kinase (in glycolysis).
2-Phosphoenol pyruvate by pyruvate kinase (in glycolysis).
3-Succinyl CoA by succinate thiokinase (in citric acidcycle).
4-Creatine phosphate by creatine kinaseenzyme.
5- ADP by myokinase (adenyl kinase) enzyme
