Q

WHY DON’T ALL CELLS USE LIPIDS AS FUEL?

A
  • BECAUSE SOME LACK MITOCHONDRIA (ERYTHROCYTES, TISSUES OF THE EYE)
  • LACK OF AVAILABILITY OR ACCESS (E.G. THE BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER PREVENTS ACCESS OF LIPIDS TO CNS)

22
Q

CONSEQUENCES OF USING GLUCOSE AS A PREFERRED SUBSTRATE DURING MUSCLE CONTRACTION?

A

GLYCOLYSIS IS VERY RAPID AND WILL RAPIDLY OVERLOAD THE CAPACITY OF THE CITRIC ACID CYCLE TO DEAL WITH ACETYL CoA; TO DECREASE THE ACETYL CoA PRODUCTION, A LOT OF PYRUVATE FORMED FROM GLYCOLYSIS IS REDUCED TO LACTATE WHICH LEADS TO MUSCLE CRAMPS (BUT PART OF THE LACTATE WILL ALSO BE SENT TO THE LIVER FOR GLUCONEOGENESIS TO FURTHER SUSTAIN EXERCISE)

23
Q

WHICH PRODUCT OF GLYCOLYSIS WILL CAUSE CRAMPS IN MUSCLES DURING EXERCISE?

A

LACTATE

24
Q

DOES HEART MUSCLE HAVE GLYCOGEN RESERVES?

A

ESSENTIALLY NONE

25
Q

WHAT IS THE MAIN SOURCE OF FUEL FOR THE HEART?

A

FATTY ACIDS

26
Q

WHAT ARE POSSIBLE FUELS FOR THE HEART EXCEPT FOR FATTY ACIDS?

A

KETONE BODIES AND LACTATE

27
Q

TYPICAL AMOUNT OF CALORIES STORED IN ADIPOSE TISSUE?

A

15 KG OF TRIGLYCERIDES; 135 000 kcal

28
Q

OTHER NAME FOR TRIGLYCERIDES?

A

TRIACYLGLYCEROLS

29
Q

DOES ADIPOSE TISSUE NEED GLUCOSE TO MAKE TRIGLYCERIDES AND WHY?

A

YES.
GLYCEROL IS NEEDED FOR THE PRODUCTION OF TRIGLYCERIDES AND GLYCEROL COMES FROM CONVERSION OF DHAP, ONE OF THE 2 TRIOSES FORMED DURING GLYCOLYSIS, SO THE ADIPOSE TISSUE DOES NEED GLUCOSE

30
Q

WHICH FUEL IS LIVER’S MAIN SOURCE OF ENERGY?

A

FATTY ACIDS

31
Q

ARE ALL CELLS ABLE TO TAKE UP AND UTILIZE GLUCOSE?

A

YES

32
Q

WHICH GLUT IS PRESENT IN THE BRAIN AND RBCs?

A

GLUT 1

33
Q

WHICH GLUT IS EXPRESSED IN NEURONS AND HOW DOES ITS AFFINITY TO GLUCOSE COMPARE TO THAT OF GLUT1?

A

GLUT 3, HAS EVEN HIGHER AFFINITY THAN GLUT 1

34
Q

WHICH GLUT IS EXPRESSED IN THE LIVER?

A

GLUT2

35
Q

WHERE IS GLUT 4 EXPRESSED?

A

INSULIN RESPONSIVE TISSUES LIKE ADIPOSE AND MUSCLE

36
Q

CHARACTERISTICS OF GLUT FAMILY PROTEINS?

A
  • PROTEIN CARRIERS THAT TRANSPORT GLUCOSE USING FACILITATED DIFFUSION
  • DOESN’T REQUIRE ATP (ATP INDEPENDENT)
  • UNIPORTS (ONLY TRANSPORT ONE KIND OF MOLECULE)
37
Q

HOW MANY MEMBERS OF GLUTs ARE THERE?

A

18

38
Q

CHARACTERISTICS OF SGLT FAMILY PROTEINS?

A
  • SODIUM DEPENDENT
  • SYMPORTS
  • TRANSPORT GLUCOSE WITH SODIUM IN THE SAME DIRECTION
  • SECONDARY ACTIVE TRANSPORT: REQUIRES Na/K GRADIENTS REQUIRE ATP TO BE GENERATED
39
Q

HOW IS GLUT4 REGULATED BY INSULIN AND WHEN IS THIS IMPAIRED?

A

INSULIN INCREASES EXPRESSION OF GLUT 4 AND THUS INCREASES GLUCOSE UPTAKE, WHICH IS DEREGULATED IN INSULIN RESISTANCE LEADING TO HIGH BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS (HALLMARK OF T2D)

40
Q

WHAT ARE THE PERIPHERAL TISSUES THAT ARE THE MOST INVOLVED IN METABOLISM REGULATION?

A

LIVER, ADIPOSE TISSUE, SKELETAL MUSCLE AND THE KIDNEYS

41
Q

WHEN DOES SKELETAL MUSCLE PROVIDE GLUCOSE FOR OTHER ORGANS?

A

NEVER, THERE IS NO GLUCONEOGENESIS IN THE MUSCLE, THE GLUCOSE RELEASED IS ONLY USED BY THE MUSCLE

42
Q

CAN GLUCEONEOGENESIS OCCUR IN MUSCLES?

A

NO

43
Q

CAN MUSCLE STORE TRIGLYCERIDES AND WHEN?

A

YES, BUT INTRAMUSCULAR LIPIDS ARE HALLMARKS OF T2D AND NOT NORMAL AS THEY IMPAIR MUSCLE INSULIN RESPONSIVENESS

44
Q

WHAT DOES ADIPOSE TISSUE USE GLUCOSE FOR?

A
  • FOR ITS ATP PRODUCTION VIA GLYCOLYSIS

- TO MAKE TRIGLYCERIDES (BY UTILIZING DHAP WHICH IS CREATED DURING GLYCOLYSIS)

45
Q

IS THERE ANY PLACE IN THE BODY WHERE TRIGLYCERIDES SHOULD BE STORED APART FROM THE ADIPOSE TISSUE?

A

NO

46
Q

WHY IS GLUCONEOGENESIS ALSO REFERRED TO AS ‘DE NOVO SYNTHESIS OF GLUCOSE’?

A

BECAUSE IT USES ENDOGENOUS MOLECULES (NOT FROM DIET)

47
Q

GLUCONEOGENESIS CAN OCCUR IN THE LIVER AND?

A

KIDNEYS

48
Q

SUBSTRATES FOR GLUCONEOGENESIS:

A

GLYCEROL, AMINO ACIDS, PYRUVATE AND LACTATE

49
Q

CAN LIVER SYNTHESISE TRIGLYCERIDES AND DO LIPOGENESIS?

A

YES

50
Q

CAN SKELETAL MUSCLE DO LIPOGENESIS?

A

YES

51
Q

WHAT ARE TRIGLYCERIDES INCORPORATED INTO IN LIVER LIPOGENESIS BEFORE BEING SECRETED TO AND MOVED TO ADIPOSE TISSUE?

A

VLDL

52
Q

IS INSULIN ANABOLIC OR CATABOLIC HORMONE?

A

ANABOLIC

53
Q

HOW DO LEVELS OF FATTY ACIDS IN THE BLOOD CHANGE DURING FASTING?

A

THEY ARE ELEVATED

54
Q

MAX AMOUNT OF HRS HEAPTIC GLYCOGEN STORES WILL LAST?

A

18 HRS
