Physiology 4 Flashcards
Objectives of absorption and storage: during & after meal
1) fill glycogen stores (from carbos)
2) Don’t spill much glucose in urine
3) Utilize ingested carbos and fat for energy
4) Package excess carbos & fats as TAG
AAs as protein
Objectives of absorption and storage: between meals
1) keep glucose about constant for CNS
2) dec. glucose utilization (except CNS)
3) keep some glycogen reserves
4) burn fats for energy (FA, KB)
5) utilize “sparable” proteins (AAs) (& glycerol, lactate) for gluconeogenesis
Most efficient energy storage form?
fat
Glucose can be used by?
all tissues
How much glycogen stores?
more than glucose
enough for 1/2 day fuel
Tissues that must have glucose?
brain (nerves)
RBC
WBC
renal tubules
Carbohydrate processes during feeding?
- inc glucose uptake & utliz.
- inc. glycolysis
- inc. glycogen stores
- dec. glyconeogenesis
- dec. glycogenolysis
Carbohydrate processes during fasting?
- dec. glucose uptake & utli.
- dec. glycolysis
- small dec. in glycogen stores
- small dec. glycogenesis
- inc. gluconeogenesis
- inc. glycogenolysis
Fat processes during feeding?
- inc. lipogenesis
- inc. fat stores
- dec. lipolysis
- dec. ketogenesis
Fat processes during fasting?
- dec. lipogenesis
- dec. fat stores
- inc. lipolysis (inc FFA)
- inc. ketogenesis
Protein processes during feeding?
- inc PS
- inc. protein stores
-dec. PD
Protein processes during fasting?
- dec PS
- dec. protein stores (especially in muscle & lymph)
-inc PD
Glucose-Fatty Acid Cycle
-glucose goes to Glucose-6-P in Muscle
-goes to energy,
-FFA inhibit glucose utilization b/w meals
(from fat cells)
-glucose goes to triglycerides in fat cells
Short acting hormones
- insulin
- epinephrine
- norepinephrine
- glucagon
-rapid onset, brief action
Long acting hormones
- GH
- Thyroid hormone
- Glucocorticoids
- Sex steroids
-delayed onset, prolonged action
Short acting hormone mechanism
-inc/dec enzyme or protein activity
Long acting hormone mechanism
inc/dec amount of enzymes or other problems
Change in Cortisol during a meal?
none
few effects: slight dec. in glucose uptake & utilization; glycostatic
Change in Cortisol during fasting?
none
effects: allow inc. gluconeogenesis & lipolysis
dec. in glucose uptake & utilization
Change in GH during a meal?
none
effects: inc PS
Change in GH during fasting?
none
effects: dec in glucose utilization
dec lipolysis
slows protein loss (glycostatic)
