Q

Three major pathways in mitochondrial matrix

A

CAC, b-oxidation of fatty acids, ketone body formation

24
Q

PFK regulation

A

activated by F26BP and AMP. Inhibited by ATP and citrate.

25
Q

fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase

A

activated by citrate. inhibited by AMP and F26BP.

26
Q

Reciprocal control by PFK2

A

phosphorylation of by PKA turns off glycolysis. dephosphorylation makes F26BP turning glycolysis on.

27
Q

pentose phosphate primarily regulated by availability if ?

A

NAD+

28
Q

glycogen phosphorylase and ? are under reciprocal control

A

glycogen synthase

29
Q

major control point in fatty acid synthesis

A

citrate stimulates acetyl CoA carboxylase and provides substrate for commited step

30
Q

fatty acid degradation control point

A

inhibited by fatty acid synthesis

31
Q

four fates of G6P

A

G1P, F6P, 6PG, glucose

32
Q

G6P makes G1P when ? for ?

A

G6P and ATP are high. glycogen synthesis

33
Q

G6P makes F6P when ? for ?

A

ATP or carbon skeletons are needed. Glycolysis.

34
Q

G6P makes 6PG when ? for ?

A

cell needs NADPH or ribonucleotides. pentose phosphate.

35
Q

Brain Energy.

A

Use 60% of bodies glucose in maintaining membrane potential. Ketone bodies replace glucose as fuel during starvation.

36
Q

Kidneys transport 60 volumes of blood driven by cotransport of ? using ?

A

Na+ using Na+/K+ ATPase

37
Q

adipose tissue is specialized for ?

A

esterification of fatty acids to form TAGs and breakdown

38
Q

preferred fuel in resting muscle

A

fatty acids

39
Q

preferred fuel in of muscle in times of high ATP use

A

glucose

40
Q

glycolysis outpaces TCA when large amounts of ATP are needed leading to production of ?

A

lactic acid

41
Q

muscle produces alanine by transamination of ?

A

pyruvate

42
Q

metabolic hub that gets first call on nutrients and distributes fuel to other tissues

A

liver

43
Q

regulates lipid metabolism

A

liver

44
Q

takes up most of the glucose in blood and stores it as glycogen

A

liver

45
Q

well fed state conditions

A

glucose and AA’s transported in blood. insulin released to stimulate energy storage and protein synthesis. glycogen storage in muscle and liver occurs. liver able to trap large amount of glucose because it has a glucokinase with high Km or high affinity for glucose.

46
Q

early fasting state conditions

A

decreased insulin secretion. increased glucagon levels. liver releases glucose to bloodstream. adipose tissues release fatty acids and muscle and liver use fatty acids as fuels

47
Q

adaptations in starvation

A

muscle use fatty acids exclusively. pyruvate dehydrogenase turned off. pyruvate, lactate and alanine sent to liver for gluconeogenesis. gluconeogenesis depeletes TCA intermediates. excess acetyl CoA used to produce ketone bodies. less glucose demand decreases protein breakdown.

48
Q

ketone body sythesis from acetyl CoA

A

(thiolase)> acetoacetyl CoA >(HMG CoA synthase)> HMG-CoA >(HMG CoA Lyase)> acetoacetate

49
Q

type 1 diabetes

A

lack of insuline

50
Q

ATP and creatine-P supply enough ATP for ? seconds of sprinting

A

6

51
Q

slowest method of ATP production

A

utilization of fatty acids

52
Q

as distance running increases, we rely more on aerobic/anaerobic ATP production

A

aerobic

53
Q

Alcohol metabolism

A

ethanol oxidized to acetaldehyde in the cytoplasm and to acetate in mitochondria increasing NADH

54
Q

Alcohol effects on liver metabolism

A

NADH accumulation inhibits gluconeogenesis and fatty acid oxidation. Acetate is converted to acetylCoA which stimulates fatty acid synthesis (b/c NADH inhibits TCA cycle) resulting in “fatty liver”. Ketone body production increases which can lower blood ph. acetate processing eventually impaired and acetaldehyde accumulates causing liver damage.

55
Q

ethanol induced P450 pathway

A

consumes NADPH as it oxidizes ethanol. generates damaging free radicals and reduces ability to generate antioxidant reduced glutathione.

56
Q

scurvy

A

disease from vitC deficiency. insufficient hydroxylation of proline in collagen.
