Q

Why does the removal of the (first two phosphate groups ony) on ATP release energy?

42
Q

Muscle converts excess ATP…

A

Muscle converts excess ATP to Creatine Phosphate to get a reservoir of high energy intermediates.

43
Q

Each individual Phospate bond to ATP releases how much energy?

A

7 kcal/mole is for each individual high energy bonds (there are two in each ATP.)

44
Q

Draw the Metabolism Overview in the Fed State

45
Q

Fat is not soluble in water and is instead

A

Fat is not soluble in water and is instead packaged into a Chylomicron.

46
Q

Pancreas

A

Pancreas senses the change in blood glucose levels and creates Insulin and Alpha Cells of pancreases reduces Glucagon.

47
Q

Insulin/Glucagon Ratio in the fed state

A

Insulin/Glucagon Ratio in the fed state is High

48
Q

Glucose is stored as…

A

Glucose stored as glycogen and metabolized into Acetyl CoA

49
Q

Chylomicrons

A

Transport Dietary Triglycerides

50
Q

VLDL

A

Transports De Novo Triglycerides

51
Q

Only Source of Energy for the Brain

52
Q

What organelles/features do RBC’s Lack?

A

Nucleus or Mitochondria

53
Q

Muscle will only uptake glucose under what conditions?

A

Muscle will only take glucose up from circulation when insulin is present.

54
Q

Liver Glycogen

A

Used to maintain Glucose levels in the blood

55
Q

Muscle Glycogen

A

Only used for muscle

56
Q

Fat Cells only uptake Glucose under what conditions?

A

Glucose entry into fat cells is also insulin dependent

57
Q

What tissues/when can they uptake Amino Acids?

A

All other tissues can use AA for energy some tissues will be insulin dependent AA uptake whereas others will be Insulin independent AA uptake.

58
Q

Draw Metabolism in the Basal State

59
Q

Glucose levels in between meals…

A

In between meals — Blood Glucose levels Drop

60
Q

What does the liver do in the absence of glucose…

A

Liver — Glycogen Degradation is Stimulated for Blood Glucose Increase so brain can still get energy.

61
Q

Brain doesn’t care that we’re not eating. Why?

A

Because it will use glucose that is broken down from liver glycogen stores.

62
Q

RBC converts glucose into…

A

RBC — Glucose converted to lactate in RBCS

63
Q

Function of Fat Cells

A

Fat Cells — Activation of Triglyceride hydrolysis and release of Fatty Acids into blood

64
Q

How does the muscle react when Insulin/Glucagon ratio is low?

A

Muscle — Insulin Low — No Glucose Uptake — Uses Glycogen Stores

65
Q

How does the liver react when Insulin/Glucagon Ratio is Low

A

Liver — Takes up FA to generate energy — KB transport Acetyl CoA throughout the body — FA in Liver is converted to Acetyl CoA — Gluconeogenisis— Synthesis of Glucose via other substrates

66
Q

How is the Lactate made by RBC’s used?

A

used by Liver for Gluconeogenesis— Heart also uses lactate for energy

67
Q

Draw Metabolism in the Starved State

68
Q

Blood Glucose in Starved State

A

Blood Glucose is low — Insulin Down — Glucagon Up

69
Q

How long after not eating is liver glucagon gone?

A

18-24 hours of not eating liver glycogen is gone

70
Q

What are FA being used to generate in the Starved State?

A

FA is being used to make more ketone bodies

71
Q

What are the energy sources for gluconeogenisis in the starved state?

A

Glycerol and Lactate are primary sources of gluconeogenesis

72
Q

Brain Glucose Consumption in Starved State

A

Glucose being used by brain is now 60% of normal because other 40% is provided by KB

73
Q

Functions of KB

A

KB reduce brain’s dependency on glucose which reduces the need for protein degradation

74
Q

What ultimately kills us when starving?

A

Ultimately what will kill us during starvation is protein degredation

75
Q

Can FA’s be used to make Glucose?

A

FA’s can’t be used to make glucose.

76
Q

Emia Suffix

A

Emia — Suffix for In the Blood.

77
Q

Urea Suffix

A

Urea — Suffix for in the Urine.

78
Q

HbA1c

A

HbA1c — is a Glycosylated Protein and indicates lack of Glycemic Control
