module 14- metabolic integration Flashcards
3 stores of fuel
glycogen, triacylglycerol & protein
where are glycogen stores present
liver & muscle, 1 day of energy
where are triacylglycerol stores present
adipose tissue & liver
where are proteins stored
muscle, 20 days of energy
liver function
produce fuel from nutrients in blood, act as glucose sensor
FA taken up by the liver can be broken for energy through ( )
b-oxidation
what is the major fuel used by the liver to meet its own energy needs
FA
T or F: GLUT2 in liver has high Km for glucose
T
T or F: glucose uptake in the liver is increased when glucose levels are
high
glucokinase
hexokinase isoform, only active when glucose levels rise
what does glycogen phosphorylase a do in the liver
degrades glycogen
muscle energy needs at rest vs exertion
rest- FA
exertion- glucose, produces lactate, muscle protein
what is the largest storage compartment
adipose tissue
how long can glycogen vs triacylglycerol stores provide energy for
glycogen- 24 hours
TAG- several months
where does glycerol-3-P for TAG synthesis in adipose tissue come from
glycolysis
what % of glucose does the brain consume?
60%
