PATHWAYS IN GLUCOSE METABOLISM
6
Glycolysis
Gluconeogenesis
Glycogenolysis
Glycogenesis
Lipogenesis
Lipolysis
Metabolism of glucose molecule to pyruvate, or lactate for production of energy.
Glycolysis
Formation of Glu-6-phosphate from non-CHO source =Lactate, glycerol and aminoacid
Gluconeogenesis
Breakdown of glycogen to glucose for energy
Glycogenolysis
Conversion of glucose to glycogen for storage
Glycogenesis
Conversion of carbohydrates to fatty acids
Lipogenesis
Decomposition of fats
Lipolysis
Stages of catabolism
Stage 1
Breakdown of complex molecules to their component building blocks
Stage 2
Conversion of building blocks to acetyl-CoA (or other simple intermediates)
Stage 3
Metabolism of acetyl-CoA to CO2 and formation of ATP
Glucose is supplied to the Extracellular from the liver
Brief fast
Glucose is synthesized from noncarbohydrate sources
Fasting period longer than one day
HORMONE REGULATION
Increases glucose
CATGGE
Glucagon
Epinephrine
Cortisol
Growth hormone
ACTH
Thyroxine
HORMONE REGULATION
Decreases glucose
Insulin
Incretins
HORMONE REGULATION
Increases or lowers the glucose
