Biochem review Flashcards
liver fnxs
maintain blood glucose
synthesize ketones form Acetyl-CoA during lipolysis
synthesize FAs and converts to TGLs and release as VLDLs
requirements for liver fnx
absorptive state: glucose and AA for energy
post-absorptive state: lactate, glycerol, and AA for gluconeogenesis
adipose fnxs
take up FAs and convert to TGLs for storage
release FAs into circulation
requirements for adipose fnx
glucose to produce glycerol phosphate for esterification of FAs
switch to FAs during post-absorptive state
resting skeletal mm fnxs
release AAs into blood
requirements for resting skeletal mm fnx
absorptive state: glucose for oxidation and glycogen stores, AAs for protein synthesis
post-absorptive state: FAs and ketones for energy
active skeletal mm fnx
fast-twitch: anaerobic glycolysis from mm glycogen (primary source of energy)
slow-twitch: oxidative metabolism of glycogen
after several hrs switch to lipolysis
immediate changes after meal
BG increases followed by increase in TGs and AAs
increased BG detected by what
pancreas -> releases insulin
insulin effects on liver and mm
glycogen synthesis increases until maxed then FA production increases
protein synthesis increases in mm
insulin effects on adipose
TGs synthesis
insulin effects on brain and red cells
nothing
what occurs in post-absorptive/fasting state?
glucagon released
epi increases
glucagon on liver
glycogenolysis
glucose released in blood
AA and FAs into liver for gluconeogenesis
epi on mm
AA released into blood
epi on adipose
FAs released into blood
how does mm contraction activate TCA cycle?
increased Ca
increased ADP
decrease in NADH/NAD ratio
