2 Flashcards
Ketoses
Fructose
Ribulose
Dihydroxyacetone
Lipid soluble vitamins
DEKA
Not stored
Vit A
- Spinach, carrots, dark vegetables, yellow vegetables
- Vit A derivative retinol is found in liver, cod liver oil, dairy products, eggs
Helps w/:
Antioxidant, visiual pigment, differentiation epithelial cells, treat acne
Vit E
Protects against ROS (antioxidant) & LDL’s (low density lipoproteins)
Aldoses
Glucose
Galactose
Fuel stores
Lipid: 1 g=9kcal energy
Protein 1g=4 kcal
Carbs 1g=4kcal
Glut 1
Ubiquitous (found in RBC’s, brain, cornea, placenta)
Glut 2
Main transporter in liver and pancreas
Glut 3
Neurons
Glut 4
Skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, heart. Regulated by insulin
Vit K
Blood coagulation/clotting
Water soluble vitamins
Vit B, C, biotin, folate
Not stored
Vit B2
(riboflavin)
FMN, FAD
Collagen AA’s
Glycine is common
Vit B3
(niacin)
NAD+, NADP+
Vit B1
(thiamine)
Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP)
If pH (driving speed) is above pKa (speed to keep hat on)=
AA will get rid of proton
If pH (driving speed) is below pKa (speed to keep hat on)= AA will keep proton
Vit B5
(pantothenic acid)
CoA
Vit B6
(pyridoxine)
Pyridoxal phosphate
Vit B7
(biotin)
Used in pregnancy
Vit B9
(folic acid)
Helps convert carbs into glucose
Vit B12
(cobalamin)
COP1 & COP2
COP1: in-between stacks of golgi
COP2: ER–> golgi
Aspirin is what kind of inhibitor?
Aspirin is irreversible inhibitor of COX1/COX2 preventing prostaglandin synthesis
Concentration levels of Na, K etc
Everything high except K on outside of cell
Branched chain AA’s
VIL
Valine, Isoleucine, leucine
E1
TPP (thymine pyrophosphate–> Vit B1, thiamine)
E2
Lipoic acid
E3
NADH & FADH
Needs Niacin (Vit B3) & Riboflavin (Vit B2)
Spur cells
RBC’s breaking b/c too much cholesterol on membrane
Phosphotidyl serine
When on outside of membrane, it will kill cell
Problems with breaking down branched chain AA’s
Need to be broken down by BCKD
Needs: CoA, FAD, Lipoic Acid, NAD, TPP
If no BCKD enzyme= Maple Syrup Urine disease
Wernicke/Beriberi
Deal with Vit B1
Aldoses
Ribose
Glucose
Mannose
Galactose
Erythrose
Glyceraldehyde
Gluconeogenesis
Under fasting conditions, stores of liver glycogen are sufficient to supply the brain w/ glucose for only 12 hours. Gluconeogenesis, the process by which glucose is synthesized from noncarbohydrate precursors such as pyruvate or lactate, amino acids, propionate, and glycerol, must take over
Gallbladder
Stores bile which breaks apart lipids, pumped from gallbladder into intestines to aid in digestion of lipids. The cholesterol in bile needs the bile salts to stay in solution and when it has to much cholesterol and too little bile salts, the cholesterol hardens into pebble-like solids called gallstones
Steroid hormones
- Progesterone: gestation-supportive hormone
- Aldosterone: increases Na+ and water retention and raises blood pressure
- Cortisol: stress hormone. Increases gluconeogenesis and blood pressure, has anti-inflammatory effects
- Testosterone: androgen, male sex hormone
- Estradiol: estrogen, female sex hormone
Major role of kidneys
Regulate blood pH
