16
Q

Glucagon suppresses the expression of

A

-glucokinase
-6-phosphofructo-1-kinase
-pyruvate kinase

17
Q

Glycogen breakdown in liver is stimulated by

A

-glucagon and epinephrine

18
Q

Glycogen breakdown in liver

A

-protein kinase A activates glycogen phosphorylase and inactivates glycogen synthase
-PKA also suppresses glycolysis in liver so glucose is released to blood stream

19
Q

protein kinase A method of action

A

phosphorylation

20
Q

glycogen phosphorylase

A

breaks down glycogen to glucose-1-phosphate

21
Q

Insulin

A

-peptide hormone
-produced by Beta cells in pancreas
-released upon RISE in blood sugar

22
Q

insulin reduces

A

concentration of glucose in blood

23
Q

insulin promotes

A

-glucose uptake
-glycogen synthesis
-glycolysis
-fatty acid synthesis

24
Q

insulin receptor

A

tyrosine kinase

25
Q

mechanism of insulin action

A

-opposes actions of glucagon and epinephrine
-activates cAMP phosphodieterase
-activates phosphoprotein phosphatase
-dephosphorylation of that one enzyme phosphatase to kinase which activates pyruvate kinase

26
Q

cAMP phosphodieterase

A

-lowers cAMP levels
-activated by insulin

27
Q

Phosphoprotein phosphatase

A

reverses actions of protein kinase A

28
Q

Hormonal regulaiton of lipid metabolism by:

A

-glucagon
-insulin

29
Q

Glucagon effect on lipid metabolism

A

-promotes fatty acid OXIDATION
-increase triacyl breakdown by phosphorylation of hormone-sensitive lipase
-suppress acetyl CoA carboxylase by phosphorylation

30
Q

Insulin effect on lipid metabolism

A

-promotes fatty acid SYNTHESIS
-increase fatty acid synthase and acety-coA carboxylase
-activates pentose phosphate pathways

31
Q

Warburg effect

A

-even when O2, cancer cells convert glucose to lactate
-cancer cells use glucose 200x more than normal cell

32
Q

Cancer cells keep carbons in the

A

gluco-WORLD

-part of the metabolism map lol
