Integration of Metabolism Flashcards
What is the Fed state?
Immediately post feeding
blood in fed state
full of glucose, triglycerides, and AA
liver in fed state
synthesizes glycogen, fatty acids, triglycerides
adipose in fed state
synthesizes triglyercies
muscle in fed state
synthesizes glycogen and proteins
brain in fed state
burns glucose
hormones in fed state
high insulin, low glucagon
What is happening in the fed state?
After feeding we will have lots of glucose going to the pancreas to the beta cells and we are getting high insulin. Blood has plenty of glucose, triglycerides, and AA. Since we have plenty of energy available we will want to store this energy.
What does liver do in the fed state
Liver wants to regulate blood glucose levels. After feeding its high, liver wants to take glucose up and store it so it’ll shunt it over to glycogen. Also takes glycolysis and shunts
Livers function during fed state is mainly storage
what does insulin do in fed state
Insulin can inhibit protein breakdown and inspure protein synthesis. Will lead towards protein synthesis and filling the proteins up in the blood.
muscle function in fed state
Takes up glucose from the blood and storing it as glycogen will also use glucose for its own energy needs. Will take AA and synthesize them into proteins for the muscle cell and will also take up triglycerides and storing them for later. Only synthesizes glycogen and proteins.
adipose role in fed state
Take up glucose and use it for energy needs but will use it for glycolysis, TCA cycle and ets. Stores triglycerides from the blood and takes up fatty acids from the diet and liver and will shunt off some fo the glucose combined with fatty acids to store triglycerides for later.
how many hours post eating is early fasting
one to six
blood in early fasting
glucose homestasis, transporting fatty acids/glycerol from adipose
liver in early fasting
breaks down glycogen to add glucose to blood
adipose in early fasting
breaks down triglycerides to put fatty acids and glycerol in blood
muscle in early fasting
breaks down glycogen, burns glucose and fatty acids
brain in early fasting
burns glucose
hormones in early fasting
lowering insulin, rising glucagon
liver role in early fasting
Start activating pathways, glucagon signaling actives glucose-phosphatase changing glucose 1 phosphate into glucose 6 phosphate to get glucose into the blood. Pulls glycerol in to start glyconeogenesis.
Main thing is that its sending glucose back out to the blood from glycogen
muscle role in early fasting
Breaks glycogen down to use glucose, has glut 4 transporter which is insulin sensitive, lots of glucose metabolism will come from glycogen stores will also pull in fatty acids to use for energy.
Some muscles are glycogenic, some are oxidative. All muscles will use fatty acids and glycogen, just depends what muscle.
