glucose
glucose stored as
glycogen
glycolysis happens _ the cell
inside
help glucose to enter the cell
insulin
of glucose is utilized by the brain during rest / sleep
1/2 - 2/3
Metabolism of glucose to form energy
glycolysis
Formation of glucose from non-CHO source such as CHON, AA, and lipids
Gluconeogenesis
Breakdown of glycogen
Glycogenolysis
Formation of glycogen by storing excess glucose
Glycogenesis
Conversion of CHO to FA
Lipogenesis
Breakdown of fats when glucose is absent or not enough
Lipolysis
In lipolysis, TAG will proudce
3FA + glycerol backbone
lipolysis undergo _
gluconeogenesis (lipids)
Byproduct of fat breakdown that can lead to _ if there is high amount
ketones; comatose
Major organ that regulates glucose in the blood
• Both an exocrine and endocrine gland
