A

after 8 hr; liver glycogen is depleted
after 24 hr; TGs provide energy for all tissues except for the brain and RBC; protein degradation provides glucose for brain
Several days: OAA depleted as shunted for gluconeogenesis; AcCoA builds up as FA’s oxidized; Ketone bodies used as alternative fuel.

Q

what is leptin

A

the “set point” hormone. when it gets knocked out you are hungry all the time. as fat tissue biulds up, more leptin produced to shut off hunger response

18
Q

Receptor that responds to leptin is called

A

JAK/STAT receptor –> goes to nucleus and ponds to POMC and causes them to be inc in transcription

19
Q

Receptors bind and dimerize and recruit JAK kinase to them phosophorylates a transcription factor which goes into nucleus and activates:

A

anorexigenic peptides

20
Q

what is adiponectin

A

opp of leptin. Less FAT more adiponectin. Gets turned on as you lose weight thus low levels in obseity. Related to type 2 diabites. Inc sensitivity to insulin.

21
Q

what is a receptor for adiponectin

A

AMPK; major target for diabetic drugs. Impt in blood glucose regulation. Inc fatty acid and glucose uptake. Inc beta oxidation. Decreases gluconeogenesis and fatty acid synthesis. In summary, it inhibits energy consuming processes and activates energy producing processes

22
Q

what is a target for AMPK

A

acetyl CoA carboxylase which is first enzyme inv in FA synthesis and inactivates it.

23
Q

Excerise and AMP Kinase increases what

A

mobilize glut 4 transporters in membrane which lowers blood glucose levels. This is impt for diabetics

24
Q

what is the signaling mechanism for bacterial products

A

toll receptor/NFgammaB

25
Q

what is the signaling mech for glucocorticoids

A

transcriptional regulation

26
Q

what is the signaling mechanism for cytokines

A

JAK/STAT

27
Q

what is the signaling mechanism for thromboxane A2

A

serpentine/PKC

28
Q

what is the signaling mechanism for nitric oxide

A

guanylate cyclase/PKG

29
Q

what are toll receptors activated by

A

PAMPs such as lipopolysaccharide or flagella proteins; activates two major proinflammatory transcription factors: AP-1 and NFkB

30
Q

what is the NFkB pathway

A

IkB kinase phophorylates IkB which is inhibitor of NFkB. But when IkB gets phosphorylated it gets ubiquinated and degraded then NFkB enters the nucleus and enhances the expression of inflammatory proteins.

31
Q

what are some NFkB regulated genes

A

many interleukins, tumor necrosis factor alpha, cyclooxygenase, nitric oxide synthase, inhibitors of apoptosis, cyclin D and MMPs

32
Q

what do glucocorticouids do

A

go into nucleus and repress NFkB and AP-1 binding (you wont get inflammatory response) but enhance STAT

33
Q

what do glucocorticoids decrease transcription of

A
  1. chemokines
  2. cytokines
  3. inducible enzymes
  4. adhesion molecules
34
Q

what do glucorticoids increase transcription of

A
  1. lipocortin
  2. IkBa
  3. MAPK phosphatase
  4. beta 2 adrenergic receptors
35
Q

what is pathway for thromboxane A2 receptor and angiotensin II?

A

G protein (Gq)–> phospholipase C –> hydrolyzes phosphatidylinositol - 4,5 bisphosphate –> releases DAG and inositol 1, 4, 5, triphosphate (IP3) –> opens up Ca++ channels and DAG activates PKC

36
Q

what are some phospholipase C/IP3 mediated hormones

A
  1. acetylcholine
  2. glutamate
  3. oxytocin/vasopressin
  4. thryotropin releasing hormone
  5. gonadotropin releasing hormone
  6. thromboxane A2
  7. Angiotensin II
37
Q

what is the receptor enzyme guanylate cyclase

A

its a hormone receptor; no G protein required. Ultimately activates cGMP dependent protein kinase (PKG). its important in BP regulation. important for smooth muscle and ion channels

38
Q

what are two types of guanylate cyclase

A
  1. integral membrane proteins: activated by atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and E. coli endotoxin
  2. cytosolic protein with associated heme: activated by nitric oxide (NO)
39
Q

which aa is precursor for NO

A

argenine

40
Q

ANF goes to 2 places:

A
  1. Kidneys: ANF binds type 1 GC receptor –> inc cGMP levels–>activates PKG which enhances Na+ channels which gets excreted and water gets excreted as well.
  2. ANF receptors in vasculature, PKG targets Ca+ channels, which lowers cystolic Ca levels and dec smooth muscle contraction

Both even decrease BP

41
Q

Nitric oxide

A

first gas to be recognized as hormone.

  • Free radical
  • short half life
  • “BP police”
42
Q

what is the basis for nitroglycerin’s action

A

NO: angina due to ischemia in area of heart muscle. Nitroglycerin is slowly degraded to NO which binds guanylate cyclase and inc cGMP levels which activates PKG which results in low cystolic Ca which causes relaxation of heart muscle

43
Q

what is cGMP phosphodiesterase

A

breaks down cGMP to halt signal from ANF or NO. Subtypes are inhibted by viagra, thus potentiating localized vasodilation
