Q

Muscles do not have ____ so what is inevitable

A

No glucose 6 phosphatase

Which means G6P cannot go back to glucose, it must go to glycolysis

19
Q

What do glucagon and epinephrine want to happen

A

Want glyc. Phosphorylase to get phosphorylated so it turns on and revs up the gly to glucose production

20
Q

What happens when glycogen synthase gets phosphorylated

A

It’s activity stops so it stops making glycogen

21
Q

Insulin wants ___ of glyc phosphorylase and glycogen synthase

A

Dephosphorylation

22
Q

What does Dephosphorylation of glycogen synthase do

A

Makes it more active. Make it want make more glycogen

23
Q

What does Dephosphorylation do to glycogen phosphorylase

A

Lowers activity so it will stop turning glycogen to glucose

24
Q

What does calcium/calmodulin do

A

Immediately breaks down glycogen by

Activate GPkinase A which phosphorylates glycogen phosphorylase

Which leads to glycogen break down

25
Q

Defective breakdown of glycogen in liver vs muscle

A

L= hypoglycemia
M = weakness

26
Q

Glycogen storage disease type 1 aka

Which enzyme

A

Von Gierke’s disease

G6phosphatase deficiency

27
Q

Von gierkes enzyme does what normally

A

In the liver only and it turns G6P to glucose

28
Q

Logically describe von gierke’s

A

When the G6phosphatase no longer works, that means you cannot turn G6P to glucose

Which means you cannot have glucose in the blood

So you’ll be tired and you’ll have more lactic acid and excess glycogen (which means a large liver)

SEE pic slide 52

29
Q

With von gierkes who will be ok

A

Muscles

It’s a liver enzyme

30
Q

Type 2 aka and enzyme

A

Pompe

Lysosomal α1,4 glucosidase

If you spell it like the volcano
POMPEII
It has a 2 at the end

31
Q

What happens to glycogen in type 2 deficiency

A

It accumulates in lysosomes

32
Q

Clinical features of pompe disease

A

Cardiomegaly, muscle weakness, death by 2 yrs old

33
Q

Pompe wont have

A

Hypoglycemia in liver

34
Q

Enlarged tongue, hypotonia, no metabolic problems

A

Pompe disease

35
Q

Cori’s disease is type

A

III

36
Q

Type III is a disease of

A

The debranching enzyme
Can’t break 1,6 to 1,4

37
Q

Mild hypoglycemia in Cori’s disease because

A

Liver can still make glucose cuz glucose 6 phosphatase is still intact

38
Q

Cori’s enzyme effects ___ mainly

A

Muscles

39
Q

Cori’s disease key point

A

Gluconeogenesis is intact

40
Q

Which disease has a HUGE round Santa belly

A

Type I

41
Q

Von gierke’s vs Cori

A

Muscle involvement apart of Cori’s

Weak muscles

42
Q

Type V disease aka

A

McArdle’s disease
McDonald’s 5 dollar meal

43
Q

McArdles deficient enzyme is

A

MUSCLE glycogen phosphorylase

44
Q

Symptoms of McArdles

A

Muscle cramps, weakness on exercise, myoglobinuria , dark pee after exercise

45
Q

type VI glycogen disease aka and enzyme

A

Hers

HEPATIC Glycogen phosphorylase

46
Q

Glycogen diseases are _____

A

Inherited genetic disorders

47
Q

If liver is affected, _____ is common with hepatomegaly

A

Hypoglycemia
