19
Q

Active/inactive locations of glucokinase

A

Nucleus: inactive
Cytosol: active

20
Q

Up-regulator of GK activity?

A

Glucose (promotes translocation to nucleus)

21
Q

Chronic hyperglycemia level

A

110+ mg / 100 mL (leads to insulin resistance and beta cell dysfunction)

22
Q

Glucose utilization of brain, per day

A

120 g glucose / day

23
Q

Glucose utilization of muscle tissue, per day

A

40 g glucose / day

24
Q

Glycolysis end product (anaerobic)

25
Q

Glycolysis end product (aerobic)

A

CAC (pyruvate (in mitochondria) → acetyl CoA → lactate)

26
Q

Stages of glycolysis

A 
Priming stage (ATP investment)
Splitting stage (fructose 1,6 bisphosphate can be converted to 2 molecules, further generating pyruvate)
Oxidoreduction - phosphorylation stage (ATP earnings; happens twice because of splitting stage)
27
Q

NAD+ conversion to NADH happens at which stage of glycolysis

A

Immediately after splitting stage

28
Q

What does the NAD+ conversion to NADH catalyze?

A

Conversion of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate

29
Q

Participates in NAD+ conversion to NADH

A

Dehydrogenase

30
Q

Key, irreversible enzymes for glycolysis/gluconeogenesis

A

Hexokinase/glucokinase
PFK-1
Pyruvate kinase

31
Q

Levels of glucokinase

A

Inducible; synthesis is increased by insulin

32
Q

Glucokinase affinity (Km)

A

Low; not saturated at physiological glucose concentrations

33
Q

Pyruvate carboxylase genetic deficiency

A

Increased levels of alanine, lactate, and pyruvate

34
Q

PDH genetic deficiency

A

Increased circulatory levels of pyruvate and lactate

35
Q

NAD+ must be regenerated to maintain __________

A

Glycolytic flux

Functions as coenzyme in oxidation reaction

36
Q

Anaerobic respiration replenishment of NAD+

A

Lactate dehydrogenase

Reduction reaction, leading to lactate or EtOH production

37
Q

Aerobic respiration replenishment of NAD+

A

Metabolite shuttle system (NADH cannot pass mitochondrial membrane)

38
Q

Two types of NAD+ shuttles for regeneration

A

Malate-asparate shuttle

Glycerol-phosphate shuttle

39
Q

Function of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH)

A

Catalyzes conversion of pyruvate and CoASH (coenzyme A) to AcCoA (acetyl CoA)

40
Q

Vitamin cofactors required to activate PDH

A

Thiamine (B1): PDH-E1 and Thiamine PPi
Riboflavin (B2): Dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase E3 and FAD
Niacin (B3): Dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase E3 and FAD

Pantothenate (B5): Dihydrolipoyl transacetylase E2 and lipoate CoA

41
Q

Lactate dehydrogenase A deficiency (LDHA)

A

Insufficient levels of lactate dehydrogenase leads to lower levels of NAD+, limiting flux through the glyceraldehyde-3-P dehydrogenase reaction

42
Q

Glycolysis net gain (ATP)

A

2 ATP, 2 pyruvate

43
Q

Lactate formation is favored in _________

A

anaerobic conditions

44
Q

Low levels of NADH leads to ________

A

Decreased lactate formation

45
Q

Galactosemia is caused by a deficiency in one of these two enzymes

A

Galactokinase

Galactose 1-phosphate uridyltransferase (classic, most common, most severe)

46
Q

Deficiency in aldolase B

A

Hereditary fructose intolerance
