4. (4 points total) A 27-year-old woman has been consuming a low-fat, high- carbohydrate diet for the past week. Assume that this time of chronic high carbohydrate consumption promotes upregulation of fatty acid synthase gene expression (FAS) via SREBP1c activity. a. Describe the relationship of between SREBP1c, FAS (the gene), and FAS (the enzyme) (1 point for the response) b. Describe how the following molecules are affected. (i.e., enzyme activity increases or decreases) or change in molecular concentration of the following molecules. (1 point for each molecule) Molecule SREBP1c Fatty acid synthase Status Molecular regulation 4.
