Q

what does epinephrine instigate in the muscle?

A

starts glycogen break down, and glycolysis.

gluconeogenesis only happesn in the liver.

Q

Why can’t maximum muscle activity occur for long durations?

A

because of the depletion of glycogen stores. there is also an accumulation of lactate from glycolysis, decreasing the pH and reducing muscle efficiency.

Q

Outline the cori cucle

A

Lactate being produced in the muscles during heavy activity goes into the liver, where GLUCONEOGENESIS OCCURS. Lactate is then converted into glucose. glucose is exported from the liver back into the muscle, where it is burned in glycolysis during activity.

Q

outline the glucose alanine cycle

A

in the muscle, broken down amino acids transfer their amino groups to pyruvate, which becomes alanine and the alphaketoacid. the alphaketoacid is used for energy, and the alanine goes into the liver, where it is deamidated and the amino group forms urea. the alanine turns back into pyruvate, where gluconeogenesis occurs to create glucose from the pyruvate. glucose is exported back into the muscle, where it is burned during activity to make pyruvate again.

Q

hydrophillic hormones have the ability to ____ membranes and go into the nucleaus, which ______

A

hydrophillic hormones have the ability to CROSS membranes and go into the nucleus, which alters gene expression.

Q

effect of epinephrine on liver

A

decrease glycogen synthesis
increase glycogen breakdown (to supply blood and muscle with glucose)
increase gluconeogenesis

Q

Which is the main working hormone when you are fasting?

A

glucagon. signals decreased glycolysis, increased gluconeogenesis, decrease glycogen synthesis.
