What is considered hypoglycemia?
Blood glucose < 60mg/dl
Energy source of RBC?
No mitochondria, need glucose
What does hypoglycemia cause?
Nerological problems
Coma
Death
What is hyperglycemia?
Blood glucose > 110mg/dl
What does hyperglycemia cause?
- Type II diabetes
- Problems with vasculature
- Nerve damage
- Kidney damage
- Peripheral organ damage
- Cardiomyopathy
How many carbs does brain use per day?
120g
How many carbs does skeletal muscle use per day?
40g
What is lactate?
- Byproduct of anaerobic metabolism
- Produced by skeletal muscle during exercise
What does glycolysis generate?
- Pyruvate and lactate
What intermediate of glycolysis enters CAC?
AcCoA
What conditions are required for CAC?
Aerobic, glycolysis will generate pyruvate and not lactate
What modulates glycogenolysis?
- Mediated by epinephrine and glucagon
- Stimulated by low blood glucose
3 stages of glycolysis?
- Priming
- Splitting
- Ox / Redox
Which stage of glycolysis is ATP investment?
Priming
What happens in splitting stage?
- F16BP generates dihydroxyacetone phosphate and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate
- Yields 2 pyruvate molecules
How many pyruvate come from splitting?
2
What enters splitting stage?
Fructose16BP
What is F16BP converted to?
- Dihydroxyacetone phosphate
2. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate
What is ATP earning stage in glycolysis?
Ox/redox
How many ATP created in glycolyis?
4
