Review - Exam 1 Flashcards
GLUT2 location
liver, pancreas
GLUT2 Function
Rapid uptake and/or release of glucose
GLUT4 location
Skeletal and cardiac muscle, adipose tissue
GLUT4 Function
INSULIN-stimulated uptake of glucose
Metabolic effect of insulin of triacylglycerol synthesis (adipose tissue)
increases triacylglycerol synthesis
How does insulin increase TAG synthesis?
by increasing lipoprotein lipase
What effect does insulin have on lipolysis?
Decreases lipolysis
How does insulin decrease lipolysis?
decrease hormone-sensitive lipase
Nitrogen sparing effect of fat
Increase lipolysis (FFAs for muscle)
Decrease gluconeogenesis
Increase ketogenesis
Spares muscle proteins from degredation
where does ketogenesis occur?
hepatic mitochondria
