Q

Chromatin structure

A

DNA exist in the condensed, chromatin form
DNA loops 2x around the histone octomer to form a nucleoSOME

H1 binds the nucleosone and to linker DNA and stabilize the chromatin fiber

Phosphate groups give DNA a negative charge
Lysine and argininge give histone a + charge

DNA and histone synthesis occurs in S phase

mito have their own DNA which is circular and doesnt utilize histones

Q

DNA methylation

A

Changes the expression of a DNA segment without changing the sequence, involved with aging, carcinogenesis, genomic imprinting, transposabl eelement repression and inactivation of the X chromosome

impriming – dna methylation,

Methylation is within a gene promoter (CpG islands)
typically silences gene transcription
CpG islands for methylating the DNA segment

Histone methylation is reversible, can also cause activation in the right spot
histone acetylation removes the histones positive charge–> relaxed DNA coiling,

D2 (ergocalciferol) from ingestion of plants, fungi and yeasts

Both converted to 25 OH D3 (storage form) in liver and to the active form 1,25 OH 2 D3 (calcitriol) in kidney

Function- increased intestinal absorption Ca and PO4 3-, increased bone mineralization at levels, increases bone resorption at higher levels

Ethanol metabolism increases NADH to NAD+ ratio in liver causing:

EtHanol increases nadH

A
  1. Lactic acidosis (increased Pyruvate–> Lactate (anion gap metabolic acidosis)
  2. Fasting hypoglycemia– decreased gluconeogenesis due to increased conversion of OAA to malate (in TCA cycle)
  3. Ketoacidosis- diversion of Acetyl CoA into ketogenesis rather than TCA cycle ( you need NAD+ in TCA)
  4. Hepatosteatosis- increased conversion of DHAP to glycerol 3 P (acetyl CoA diverges into Fatty acid synthesis, which combines with glycerol 3 P to synthesize Triglycerides

Increased NADH/NAD ratio inhibits TCA cycel–> increased acetyl CoA used in ketogenesis, lipogenesis

A

Phosphorylation of glucose to yield glucose 6 phosphate is catalyzed by glucokinase in the liver and hexokinase in the rest of the body tissue

Hexokinase sequesters glucose in tissues where it is used even when glucose concentrations are low, at high glucose concentrations, glucokinase helps to store glucose in liver

Hexokinase- in tissues except liver and pancreatic B cells, Km (lower, higher affinity) , Vmax (lower, low capacity) not induced by insulin, feedback inhibition by G6P

gLucokinase- in liver, B cells of pancreas, higher KM (lo affinity), Higher VMax (higher capacity), induced by insulin, inhibited by Fructose 6 phosphate

Fasting state– increased glucagon–> increased cAMP–> increased protein kinase A–> FBPase 2, PFK2, less glycolysis, more gluconeogenesis

(FaBian the peasant has to work hard when starving)

83
Q

A

NADH electrons from glycolysis enter mitochondria via the malate aspartate or glycerol 3 phosphate shuttle

an alternative method of trapping glucose in the cell is to convert it to its alcohol counterpart, sorbitol via aldose reductase

Some tissues then convert sorbitol to fructose using sorbitol dehydrogenase, tissues with an insufficient amount–> increased intracellular sorbitol accumulation, cuasing osmotic damage (cataracts, retinopathy and peripheral neuropathy seen with chronic hyperglycemia in diabetes)

high blood levels of galactose also result in conversion to the osmotically active galactitol via aldose reductase

Hepatocytes- glycogen is stored and undergoes glycogenolysis to maintain blood sugar at appropriate levels
Glycogen phosphorylase liberates glucose 1 phosphate residues off branched glycogen until 4 glucose remain on branch, then 4a d glucanotransferase (debranching enzymes) moves 3 of the 4 glucose units from the branch to the linkage, then a 1,6 glucosidase (debranching enzyme) cleaves off the last residues remaining on a branch after glycogen phosphorylase has already shortened it
