Lecture 19- Post- Absorptive CHO metabolism Flashcards
Catabolism def
Breaking down of a nutrient or tissue
Oxidation def
Utilisation a nutrient to generate ATP, CO2 and H2O
Anabolic def
Creating tissue
Glycolysis def
Breaking down of glucose into pyruvate
Gluconeogenesis def
Making of glucose from non carbohydrate precursor
Glycogen def
Storage form of glucose (Liver and muscle)
* Glycogen synthesis (glycogenesis)
* Glycogenolysis
What do products of glycolysis enter?
What does it generate?
-TCA Cycle
-Citric Acid Cycle
-Krebs Cycle
(All the same thing)
-It generates ATP
Name the primary potential fuel sources: (4)
1-VFA (Volatile Fatty Acids)
2-Non-esterfied Fatty Acids aka free fatty acids
3-Amino Acids
4-Glucose
Where’s the site for CHO digestion in
-Monogastric
-Ruminants
-Small intestine in monogastrics
-Propionate in rumen
Wheres the site for glycogen breakdown?
Liver
Wheres the site of gluconeogenesis?
Liver , kidney
Post absorptive glucose metabolism :
Whats the process for absorbed glucose?
1-Energy/Oxidation (produces CO2 and H2O) Glycolysis and TCA cycle (Produce ATP)
3-Stored as glycogen
4-Stored as fat or made into milk fat
5-Carbons utilized for amino acid synthesis
Name a catabolic process in absorbed glucose:
Energy/Oxidation: produces CO2 and H20
* Glycolysis and TCA cycle
– Produce ATP
Name anabolic processes in absorbed glucose:
-3) Stored as glycogen
– 4) Stored as fat or made into milk fat
– 5) Carbons utilized for amino acid synthesis
Whats the most important metabolic fuel in monogastrics
-Glucose
-Fatty acids.
Whats the most important metabolic fuel for ruminants ?
Acetate
Whats the only fuel that the brain uses?
Glucose
What can the brain use during starvation circumstances as a fuel?
Ketones
How much glucose/day does the adult human brain need?
120g glucose/day
How much glucose/day does the whole body need?
160g/glucose/day
How much glucose is in circulation in the body?
20g
Whats liver glycogen stores of glucose in the body?
150-180g of glucose
Whats the muscle glycogen stores amount in the body?
300-350g of glucose
What is the only organ in the body that can secrete/release glucose?
Liver
(Muscles cannot)
To provide glucose over long periods what does the body transform?
Non-carbohydrate compounds into glucose through gluconeogenesis (Amino acids, Lactate, Glycerol)
What are glucose transporters called?
And how many of them are there?
GLUT
12 GLUT transporter isoforms identified so far
Whats the transporter for GIT and kidney epithelium?
SGLT1
Whats the transporter for brain, placenta and fetal tissue?
GLUT1
Whats the transporter for liver, pancreatic, B-cells, basolateral membranes, intestine/renal tubule (reabsorption)
GLUT2
Whats the transporter for nerve cells, kidney and placenta ?
GLUT3
Whats the transporter for Insluin regulation, muscle, fat, heart?
GLUT4
Whats the transporter for fructose transporter, apical membrane of GIT?
GLUT5
