Activator of mTOR

26
Q

Inhibitor of mTOR

27

A

enzyme in energy producing (catabolic) pathways

30

A

Enzymes in energy requiring (anabolic) pathways

31
Q

enzyme regulator Sirtuins (SIRT1) activated when?

A

Increased NAD and decreased NADH

32
Q

What is the primary role of PPARgamma

A

stimulate lipid synthesis and improve insulin sensitivity

33
Q

Primary role of PPARalpha

A

fatty acid oxidation for fasting response

34
Q

Insulin is produced where? senses what? and delineates what action?

A

Pancreas
Blood glucose
Fed state

35
Q

Leptin released where?
Sensor of what?
Delineates what action?

A

Adipocytes
TAG store sensor
Full state

36
Q

Name two other shorter acting hormones that signal full state

A

Cholecystokinins (CKK)

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1)

37
Q

what neurons recieve FED/FULL signals from leptin and insulin?

A

Anorexigenic

38
Q

What neurons receive Hungry signals from Ghrelin, Adiponectin, and PYY?

A

Orexigenic

39
Q

what does cortisol do in tissue

A

adipocytes–>release FA
skeletal—> protein degredation
Liver—> increase carboylase, increase gluconeogenesis

40
Q

If the liver has available glucose (fed) what happens

A

Increased rate of glucokinase and increased synthesis of FA/TAG

41
Q

Decreased availability of glucose in liver (starve) what happens?

A

Decreased rate of glucokinase and synthesis of ketone bodies

42
Q

Why can the liver produce but not able to use ketone bodies?

A

Lacks CoA transferase

43
Q

Describe VLDL

A

From the Liver going to Adipocytes completed TAG transport
low protein
high TAG
low cholesterol

44
Q

Describe LDL

A

Bad CholesterolFrom VLDL going to all cells to distribute cholesterol
medium protein
low TAG
Low cholesterol but high cholesterol ester

45
Q

Discribe HDL

A 
**Good Cholesterol**from empty liver going to full liver collecting cholesterol
High protein
low TAG
low Cholesterol
Medium cholesterol ester
