Glycolysis Flashcards
Glucose uptake occurs from?
Glucose recovery occurs from?
uptake–>GI tract/gut
recovery–> kidneys
glucose is transported ____ the concentration gradient by ____ in epithelial cells of the gut and kidneys.
against the concentration gradient
by SGLTs (sodium-glucose symport)
what do SGLTs utilize as the energy source for glucose transport?
the sodium gradient, this is active transport.
A sodium free diet might cause?
disruption to SGLTs, so glucose would remain in the gut, causing the osmotic gradient to increase and cause diarrhea.
There are __ types of Glucose transporters (GLUTs).
Which GLUT is regulated by insulin? Found in what tissues?
13 total GLUTs.
GLUT-4 is insulin dependent, found in skeletal MM, Cardiac MM, and Adipocytes
(All other GLUTs are NOT regulated by insulin, and are found in RBCs, Brain, kidney, liver, intestines….)
glucose transporters move glucose ____ (up/down?) its concentration gradient. Is this active or passive?
Down its concentration gradient, Passive.
move glucose into and out of all cells in the body
Insulin is a peptide hormone that is synthesize by ______?
What is also produced with insulin that can determine if someone has type 1 diabetes?
pancreatic B cells.
C peptide is also produced with insulin.
What is the optimal blood glucose level?
75-110 mg/dl
insulin causes a ___ in blood glucose levels, via uptake in gut, recovery in kidneys, and release in the liver.
decrease
Muscles can uptake glucose without insulin by?
By muscle contraction, which signals GLUT4 to increase glucose uptake.
Both insulin and muscle contractions can increase GLUT4 activity=increase glucose uptake in skeletal muscle.
Insulin also regulates glucose clearance, which is?
Which insulin dependent tissue would the most glucose go to?
how glucose gets OUT of the cell (in adipose, cardiac MM and skeletal MM)
-Whatever tissue has the most mass, Skeletal MM
Two types of insulin “highs”?
acutely & chronically
True or False:
Insulin goes into the cell.
False, insulin binds to receptors on the cell membrane, then degrades.
When is insulin acutely high? (3 times….)
- after a meal
- when anticipating a meal
- when you wake up (dawn phenomenon)
When would insulin levels be highest? (Breakfast, lunch, or dinner)
breakfast=highest insulin levels
The Dawn Phenomenon is associated a surge of which hormones?
Growth hormone and cortisol
Chronically high insulin is also called?
insulin resistance (pre-diabetes) or diabetes.
With chronically high insulin, if insulin is always high = diabetes.
The sympathetic nervous system and stress causes what to happen to insulin & glucagon ?
Sympathetic NS-
increases glucagon, decreases insulin.
(if you increase glucagon, you will have more glucose in your blood stream to be used as an energy source needed for fight-or-flight responses via sympathetic NS)
Parasympathetic nervous system and thinking about food/relaxation causes what to happen to insulin & glucagon ?
Para- Increases insulin, decreases glucagon.
Where would insulin and glucose go to first, second, and third?
(Liver ? Adipose? Skeletal MM? )
1st skeletal MM
2nd liver
3rd adipose
When insulin binds to muscles, what two events occur?
- glucose uptake
- anabolism
when insulin binds to liver, what 3 events occur?
- inhibition of ketogenesis
- activation of lipogenesis
- activation of glycogenesis
