Lecture 7 Part 2 Flashcards
what is hypoglycemia
low blood sugar
nongluconegenic compounds
- not efficient at making things
- cannot be used to produce NET glucose
what are some nongluconegenic compounds
- acetyl CoA
- fatty acids
- some amino acids
- acetic acid
- butyric acid
insulin
- synthesized and secreated by pancreas
- beta cells of the Islets of Langerhans
- responds to high blood sugar
- stimulates glucose uptake by muscle and adipose tissue
hormonal control of CHO metabolism
insulin
hormonal control of CH2O metabolism
glucagon
glucagon
- synthesized and secreted by pancreas
- alpha cells of Islets of Langerhans
- responds to low blood sugar
what does glucagon stimulate liver to
- glycogenolysis
- gluconeogenesis
glucocorticoids
- hormonal control of CHO metabolism
- cortisol produced and released by adrenal gland
- stimulated when blood sugar low or stress
- stimulates gluconeogenesis
what are the side effects of glucocorticoids
immune, inflammation
epinephrine
- hormonal control of CHO metabolism
- produced and released by adrenal gland
- stimulates glycogenolysis
ruminant carb metabolism
- microbial fermentation of fiber and sugars
- cellulytic bacteria digest hemicellulose and cellulose to VFA’s
- alter proportion of VFA’s and lactate
- feed additive to alter VFA’s
what are the end products of microbial fermentation of fiber and sugars
VFA’s + organic acids
- acetate
- propionate
- butyrate
- lactate
- 99% sugars converted to VFA’s
high forage diet=
acetate highest
propionate next highest
butyrate lowest
high concentrate diet=
acetate is lowered
propionate increased
acetate
TCA cycle
- used in muscle and adipose tissue
