Lp 46 Flashcards
-carbohydrates?
-complex sugars
-insoluble
-short term storage
Carbohydrate metabolism (chemical processes)?
-glycogenolysis
-glycogenesis
-gluconeogenesis
-cellular respiration
-decrease blood glucose
-affects protein & fat metabolism
-promotes transport of glucose (m & adipose cells)
-enhance glycogenesis (liver & m cells)
Insulin
Insulin decreases?
Glycogenolysis & gluconeogenesis
Insulin increases?
-oxidation of glucose inside cells
-conversion of glucose to fat
-transport of a.a into cells
-protein synthesis
Insulin secretion stimulated by increased levels of?
-glucose
-a.a
-f.a
GH & sympathetic NS activation decrease
Insulin secretion
-targets hepatocytes
-effects increase blood sugar levels
-also secreted d/t increased a.a levels & sympathetic NS stimulation
Glucagon
-synthesis of glucogen from glucose: hepatocytes & m cells
-glycogen: interim source of E (body stores limited ATP)
-glucose supplies > immediate E needs=increased glucose storage
Glycogenesis
-increase ATP: inhibits glucose oxidation -stimulates glycogenesis & fat synthesis
-liver & skeletal mm- most active in glycogenesis & glycogen
-stored fats: long term E supplies & 80-85% of stored energy
Glycogenesis
-decreased blood sugar levels initiates glycogenolysis
*skeletal m cells: produce form of glucose that remains in cell
*liver cells: enzymes forms glucose that can freely diffuse out of cells
Glycogenolysis
