Q

what can the genetic deficiency of glucokinase lead to ?

A

Q

is hexokinase inhibited by the product glucose 6P?

A

yes , when most of the glucose is trapped in the liver there is not alot of glucose in the blood stream giving hexkinase the chance to trap it in the cell

Q

How is inhibition of ATP overcome when the bifunctional enzyme is present?

A

18
Q

when you have an increased amount of AMP in the cell how can PFK-1 inhibition be overcome in the commited step of glycolysis?

A

by ATP

19
Q

does having high amounts of AMP in the muscle mean that there is muscle damage?

A

no when the muscles contract ATP is used and AMP is released to be recycled

20
Q

when there is low levels of AMP in the skeletal muscle what is activated to get energy?

A

glycolysis and glycogen degradation

21
Q

AMP levels in skeletal muscle does not mean that there is damage in the musles, but in the liver it does( derivation of ATP), which process is activated to produce ATP?

A

glycolysis is activated and gluconeogenesis is inhibited by fructose 2,6 bisohosphate which can be formed in the skeletal muscle, heart , and liver by the bifunctional enzyme( PFK2)

22
Q

pyruvate kinase is inhibited by ATP and this ATP inhibition is overcome by fructose 1,6 bisphosphate. What type of activationis this?

A

this is a typical feed-forward activation of a pathway

23
Q

in the heart, what activates glycolysis in order to link glycogen degradation to the TCA cycle for additional extra energy output?

A

epinephrine

24
Q

in the skeletal muscle, PFK2 activity always forms blank for optimal glycolysis during muscle contraction?

A

fructose 2,6 bisphosphate

25
Q

how is gluconeogenesis regulated for the pathway which is mostly provided by degradation of fatty acids in mitochondria?

A

the availability of energy

26
Q

what does beta oxidation generate and lead to?

A

FADH2, NADH, and it leads to ATP formation in the ETC and oxidative phosphorylation

27
Q

when is sever hyperclycemia found in patients?

A

patients with defective transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria(CARNITINE SHUTTLE) or a deficient enzyme of the fatty acid degradation spiral

28
Q

what are the substrates of gluconeogenesis?

A

lactate, amino acids, and glycerol

29
Q

which proton carrier is needed to fuel and favor gluconeogenesis?

A

NAD+

30
Q

what other hormone besides glucagon induces PEP carbosykinase?

A

cortisol

31
Q

to allow the usage of of PEP for gluconeogenesis what enzyme is inhibited in the presence of glucagon phosophorylation?

A

pyruvate kinase

32
Q

what hormone is activated when dephosphorlation occurs?

A

insulin

33
Q

what hormone is favored when phosphorylation is occuring?

A

glucagon

34
Q

which part of the bifucntional enzyme is used when glucagon is present?

A

fructose bisphosphatase 2

35
Q

insulin is present, what part of the bifunctional enzyme is active?

A

PFK2

36
Q

what does alanine inhibit?

A

pyruvate kinase

37
Q

what does glucose 6 phosphate inhibit?

A

hexokinase

38
Q

what does fructose 6 phosphate inhibit?

A

glucokinase

39
Q

what activates hepatic protein kinase?

A

frucotse 1,6 bisphospate

40
Q

what does acetyl CoA activate?

A

pyruvate carboxylase

41
Q

when there are high level of ATP, what enzymes are inhibited in glycolysis?

A

PFK1 and pyruvate kinase

42
Q

when AMP and fructose 2,6 bisphosphate are present what is inhibited?

A

gluconeogenesis

43
Q

does pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and the TCA cycle occur in gluconeogenesis?

A

no beta oxidation does
