CHO metabolism Flashcards
phase one of gluose oxidation
- first 5 steps
- happens in the cytoplasm of liver/muscle cells
- energy investment
rate limiting enzymes in step 1 of glycolysis
hexokinase: in all cells
glucokinase: only in liver
- 1 ATP consumed
rate limiting enzyme in step 3 of glycolysis
PFK: high levels in type II
- 1 ATP consumed
- play nig role in high intensity exercises
when will 1 or 2 ATPs consumed in the 1st phase of glycolysis
- 1 ATP: if using glycogen
- 2 ATP: if usine glucose
when are NADH+H and ATP produced in glycolysis
how many?
NADH+H: step 6 (2 made)
ATP: step 7 and 10 (2 made in each step)
what rate limiting enzyme is used in step 10?
pyruvate kinase
-end product pyruvate
how is lactate formed?
NADH+H donate an H to pyruvate
- lactate dehydrogenase used
- lacate is end product
how is glucose delivered to the cells?
- facilitated diffusionvia glut 4 during activity and glut 1 during rest
- translocation triggered by insulin and muscle contraction
- glut 4 found in liver, SM, and adipocytes
what are the 3 stages of getting energy from food?
1: digestion, absorption, and breakdown of macronutrients
2: degradation of amino acids, glucose, and fatty acids into acetyl CoA
3: degradation of acetyl CoA into ATP
what two reactions resynthesize ATP
what enzymes used?
- 2ADP to ATP + AMP using adenylate kinase
- PCr +ADP to Cr + ATP using creatine kinase
what do low and high levels of ATP/ADP in your system lead to?
- low ATP and high ADP: keep producing ATP b/c not done with actibity yet
- high ATP and low ADP: stop producing ATP and start regen PCr b/c done with activity
3 key points about carbs
- only macro supplying ATP anerobically
- used exclusive in max exercises
- supplies 60% of energy during light aerobic exercise
what enzyme is used to form:
glycogen from glucose
glucose from glycogen
glucose to glycogen: glycogen synthase
-post exercise when glycogen stores have been depleted
glycogen to glucose: glycogen phosphorylase
-occur when cell is in need of ATP
what happens after a meal and btwn meals/during exercise?
after: glycogen synthase turned on to store free glucose that was just consumed
btwn/during exercise: glycogen phosphorylase turned on to use break down stored glycogen
glycogenolysis
cleavage of terminal glucose from glycogen chain
