Organic Metab ML: 1 Flashcards
What does post-absorptive state mean
in between meals (4-6 hours after a meal)
How many fates does glucose have in the absorptive state?
4
What is the first fate of glucose
the first thing the absorbed glucose will go is to all cells who have energy demand
What is the second fate of glucose
to go to muscle and be stored as glycogen
What is the third fate of glucose
go to the liver and be stored as glycogen
What is the fourth fate of glucose
stored in adipose tissue as triglycerdies
What is the fate of triglycerides in the absorptive state
stored in adipose tissue as fatty acids and monoglycerides
What is the first fate of amino acids
go to all tissues to meet out bodies protein demands
What is the second fate of amino acids
converted to triglycerides and stored in adipose tissue
What is the general trend of the absorptive state
anabolic… building things
What is the preferred energy in the absorptive state
glucose
Where are most excess nutrients stored in the absorptive state
triglycerides
What is a key charactertistic of the absorptive state
net uptake of glucose by the liver
What is the first source of glucose in the post asbsorp state
from glycogen that has been in the liver or skeltal muscle
What is the 2nd and third source of glucose in PA
amino acids and lactate from protein and muscle breakdown
