Glycogen metabolism Flashcards
Recalls the steps of glycogen degradation and glycogen synthesis
Describes the reciprocal regulationof
glycogen metabolism
Recounts the hormonal regulation of glycogen metabolism
What is a Kinase?
an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to a specified molecule.
What is a Phosphatase?
an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of organic phosphate
Glycongen is a branced homoploymer of _

Glycogen is make of 1,4 linkages with the branch points makewith _ _ _
alpha 1,6 linkages.
what are the ends of glycogen
reducing end and no reducing end
How do you know you are looking at a reducing end.
is the one with the hemiactal that helps open it up.
When do we break down glycongen?
in between meals
and exercise
When do we metabolize Glycogen?
Before Gluconeogenesis
Glycogen Metabolism is _ Regulated by Hormones?
Glycogen Metabolism is Reciprocally Regulated by Hormones
Glycogenolyis ( Glycogen degradation) is regulated by what hormome in the fasting state?
Glucogon
Glycogenolyis ( Glycogen degradation) is regulated by what hormome in the fatigued muscle state?
Epinephrine
In Glycogenolysis (Glycogen Degradation) wha is off and what s on?
(+) on glycogen degration
(-) off glycogen synthesis
In Glycogenesis (Glycogen Synthesis)
what is the Hormone? this would be the fed state.
Insulin
In Glycogenesis (Glycogen Synthesis) the fed state what is off and what is on?
(+) on glycogen syntheis
(-) off glycogen degradation
Glycogen Metabolism is requlated by _ _ in the _ and in the _ it is regulated by _
Glycogen Metabolism is requlated by charged state in the mussle and in the liver it is regulated by hormones
When fasting or inbetween meals you body will secreate _ . This hormone does simulates what _
When fasting or inbetween meals you body will secreate glucagon. This hormone does simulates what glycogen degradation.
