Exercise and Glycaemic Control W10 Flashcards
What 3 key steps does exercise increase the uptake of glucose?
1) Delivery
2) Transport across the muscle membrane
3) Intracellular flux through metabolic processes
- Glycolysis
- Glucose Oxidation
What is deoxy glucose?
Glucose molecule that cannot be metabolised (cannot enter glycolysis)
The molecule just accumulates in the cell for a marker of glucose uptake
Can glucose uptake occur if there is no insulin signalling?
Yes
When does GLUT4 return back to its inactive position after exercise?
2 hours (CHO golden window)
What does an enzyme end in “kinase” do?
Phosphorylates
What is AMP activated kinase activated by?
AMP
What activates enzymes in an exercising muscle?
ATP is converted to ADP and AMP
What activates AMP?
Transient fluxes in Ca
What is AICAR converted into?
ZMP
What is ZMP?
Tricks cell into thinking AMP is leaving the body= causes AMP to be activated
When does an insulin receptor become phosphorylated?
When it is exposed to insulin on the outside
What does phosphorylation of insulin receptor cause?
Leads to phosphorylation cascades that ultimately lead to GLUT4 being translocated up onto membrane
What does the Rab-GTP protein do?
Allows translocation to the membrane
Prevents the conversion of Rab-GTP to Rab-GDP
What is the state of “Rab” protein influenced by?
Protein TBC1D4
Where is GLUT4 active position?
Membrane
