Carbohydrate Metabolism Flashcards
Where is Glucokinase found?
In liver
What are the other names of hexose monophosphate shunt pathway
Pentose phosphate pathway,Dickens Horecker pathway,shunt pathway,phosphoglutanate oxidative pathway
What is Pasteur effect
Inhibitory effect of oxygen on glycolysis is called Pasteur effect
Cancer Cachexia
Loss of weight
What is Warburg Hypothesis
Cancer cells utilize energy from glycolysis and they require less oxygen than normal counterparts
Rapaport Leubering cycle(BPG shunt)
In erythrocytes,step6 of glycolysis is bypassed.Bisphosphoglycerate mutase converts 1,3 bisphoglycerate to 2,3bisphosphoglycerate
Malate and aspartate shuttle works in which respective cases?
Malate shuttle works when alanine is substrate for gluconeogenesis
Aspartate shuttle works when lactate is substrate
