Q

What regulates the rate limiting step of glycolysis (not in the liver)?

A

Q

What effect does arsenic have on the body?

A

competes with Pi for G3P in the G3PDH reaction to form arseno-3-phosphoglyceric acid rather than 1,3 bisP that releases energy as heat rather than as ATP
glycolysis continues, but no ATP is produced- this is a problem for RBCs who use this as their only source for ATP –> anemia

17
Q

What is the eighth step of glycolysis?

A

3 phosphoglycerate –> 2-phosphoglycerate

via phosphoglyceromutase

18
Q

What is the ninth step of glycolysis?

A

2PGA –> Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) + H2O

via enolase

19
Q

What is an inhibitor of enolase?

A

fluoride

20
Q

What is the tenth step of glycolysis?

A

PEP + ADP –> Pyruvate + ATP

via pyruvate kinase

21
Q

Which steps of glycolysis participate in substrate level phosphorylation?

A

seven and ten

22
Q

How is pyruvate kinase regulated?

A
inhibited by ATP, NADH, and acetyl CoA
stimulated by F1,6 bis P
inhibited by glucagon (epi)
cAMP-PKA
phosphorylation
stimulated by insulin
23
Q

What is the net ATP yield for one mol of glucose through glycolysis?

A

net 2 ATP

2 ATP consumed, 4 ATP produced

24
Q

Describe the process of fructose metabolism in the liver.

A
  1. Fructose + ATP –> Fructose 1P
    via fructokinase
  2. Fructose 1P –> Glyceraldehyde + Dihydroxyacetone P
    via aldose
  3. Glyceraldehyde + ATP –> Glyceraldehyde 3P + ADP
    via triose kinase
  4. G3P –>–> Pyruvate
25
Q

What is hereditary fructose intolerance?

A

Aldose B in liver is replaced by aldolase A which cannot react with Fructose 1P

26
Q

Describe the pathway of galactose metabolism.

A
  1. Galactose + ATP –> Galactose 1P + ATP
    via galactokinase
  2. Galactose 1P + UDP-glucose –> Glucose 1P + UDP-galactose
    via galactose 1P uridylyltransferase
  3. glucose 1P –> glucose 6P
    via phosphoglucomutase
27
Q

What is galactosemia?

A

mainly deficiency of galactose 1P resulting in accumulation or toxic galactose 1P uridylytransferase in liver, may also be caused by deficiency in galactokinase
