Carbs IV Flashcards
where does glycogen synthesis occur
liver and muscle cells
what are the steps of activation of glucose
- glucose phosphorylation by hexokinase to glucose 6 phophate
- G 6P —> glucose 1 phophate by phosphoglucomutase
- G1P —> UDP glucose ia UDP glucose pyrophorylase
in general what is happening during glycogen synthesis
adding activated glucose in alpha 1.4 linkages and later branches the chains with alpha 1.6 bodns
what becomes active when blood glucose levels are low
glycogen phosphoylase
what is the regulated step of glycoen syntehsis
glucose to glucose 6 phophase
glycogen synthase
what is hexokinase and glucokinse stimulated by
insuline
what is hexolinase inhibtied by
g6p
what is glucokinas einhibted by
hexxokinase isozyme in liver NOT g6p
what is glycogen synthase inhibted by
glucagon, epinephrine
what is glycogen synthase stimulated by
insuline
what are the regulated steps in glycogen degration
glucogen phophorylase
glucose 6 phosphatse
what inhibts glucogen phophorylase
