Basics 3 Flashcards
how does the body meet the challenge of increased energy demand during exercise
hormones
- fuel mobilization
- delivery
-fuel utilization
- maintenance
where does fuel (substrate) mobilization occur
liver, muscle, adipose
what hormones are associated with fuel mobilization
- norepi
-epi
-glucagon
-insulin
what are the two main catecholamine forms and how are they released
Norepi = released from sympathetic nervous system
epi = adrenal medulla: released stimulated by NE
what happens to the catecholamines during exercise
= exponential increase in circulating levels
= norepinephrine circulates at much higher levels
what effect does exercise have on catecholamine response and why?
it blunts the response as a trained individual because more accustomed to the physical stress
what do catecholamines do at the level of the liver
increase HGP
- increase glycogenolysis (first)
- increase gluconeogenesis (need to wait for available non-glucose sources)
In a mice study why is liver sensitivity to epi/norepi reduced by training
- liver are less responsive to EP in trained mice as it is trying to preserve the limited stores in the liver
What occurs at the level of adipose tissue in response to catecholamines
Lipolysis occurs which is the breakdown of TG to FA and glycerol
what are the three lipase
adipose TG lipase
hormone sensitive lipase
monoglyceride lipase
what effect does exercise have on lipolysis
increase (even in walking)
what fates do fatty acids have after lipolysis
- oxidized within adipose tissue (<1%)
- released to circulation (60%)
- re-esterified within adipose tissue (40%)
what does the increase in lipolysis do
activates hormone sensitive lipase in the adipose; FA is released
- mainly due to epi (B2 receptors)
T or F responsiveness is greater in trained individuals for catecholamines at the level of the adipose tissue
true
what increases due to catecholamines at the level of the skeletal muscle
increased muscle glycogenolysis
- activates glycogen phosphorylase (breakdown of glycogen)
T or F the muscle can share its glucose stores (released into circulation)
false it is selfish and can only be used by the muscle it was held in
where is glucagon released from and what does it counter act
alpha cells in the pancreas
counter-hormone to insulin
