metabolism Flashcards
two mechanisms of Glucose Catabolism
glycolysis and the aerobic degradation
describe the glycolysis (anaerobic)
turning glucose in two molecules of pyruvic acid or lactic acid (muscles) and the release of 2 ATP - after: gylocogenolysis: release of the glucose from the storage areas
is made in the absence of 02
includes 10 states of chemical reactions
each stage is catalyzed by a specific enzyme
during intense training
describe the aerobic degradation
continues the anaerobic oxidative process; in the mitochondria;
turning pyruvic acid into acetyl Co A -> Krebs cycle (oxidation) -> 2 Co2, H20 (out of H+) and 38 ATP
describe the glycogen genesis
anabolic process of glucose polymerization into glycogen
provides the constant value of the glycaemia
describe the gluconeogenesis
process of synthesis of the glucose from non-carbohydrates (lipids or amino acids)
lipids of circulation are constituted from the
triglycerides of absorption, lipids after the hydrolysis of the reserve triglycerides etc
Lipid Catabolism
- triglycerides of adipose tissue are hydrolyzed into glycerol and fatty acids
- > gylcerol couples with carbohydrates (gluconeogenesis)
- > fatty acids are degraded by oxidation in acetyl Co A in the mitochondria
Biosynthesis of the proteins
transcribed by mRNA in the nucleus -> to the ribosomes were the amino acids coupling (translation) occurs
Oxidative Deamination
Removing an amine grouping -> keto-acids and ammoniac result
- keto-acids in Krebs cycle or synthesis of glucose etc.
- ammoniac is neutralized into urea
Transamination
Synthesis of unessential amino acids through the transfer of a amine group to a keto-acid
energetic metabolism is determined by two groups of methods
calorimetric method and the methods of gas exchanges
Describe the methods of gas exchanges
ration between eliminated Co2 and consumed O2 (QR=respiratory coefficient) QR=Co2/O2
nervous regulation of the metabolic processes
by sympathetic vegetative nervous fibers
through adrenalin
