Breakdown of glucose for energy production
Glycolysis
Storage of glucose as glycogen
Glycogenesis
Breakdown of glycogen to release glucose
Glycogenolysis
Synthesis of new glucose from non-carbohydrate sources like amino acids
Gluconeogenesis
Synthesis of fatty acids from carbohydrates
Lipogenesis
Breakdown of fatty acids for energy
Beta-oxydation
Detoxification of ammonia produced from protein metabolism
Urea Cycle
Key points about the liver and metabolism:
LGPhD
Lipid metabolism
Glucose regulation
Protein synthesis
Hormone metabolism
Detoxification
Relationship between the liver and metabolism
Processing nutrients
Regulating blood glucose levels
Synthesizing essential molecules like proteins and lipids
Detoxifying harmful substances Maintaining overall metabolic homeostasis
is a term that describes the biochemical processes that allow people to grow, reproduce, repair damage, and respond to their environment.
Metabolism
is a condition that impairs these processes.
Metabolic Disorder
are a type of metabolic disorder that affects organs, tissues, or cells
Metabolic diseases
A broad category of diseases that can be caused by enzyme deficiencies, genetic defects, or organ dysfunction.
Metabolism disorder
type of metabolic disorder that affects organs, tissues, or cells.
Metabolic diseases
Examples of metabolic diseases
Examples include type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and obesity.
Causes of metabolic disorders

Inherited Metabolic Disorder
Organ Dysfunction
Potential implications of liver dysfunction on metabolism
Hypoglycemia
Hyperlipidemia
Protein deficiency
Accumulation of toxins
Produced by the pancreas, lowers blood sugar levels by promoting glucose uptake into cells.
Insulin
Also from the pancreas, raises blood sugar levels by stimulating the breakdown of glycogen stores in the liver.
Glucagon
Secreted by the thyroid gland, control the body’s overall metabolic rate, impacting energy expenditure and body temperature.
Thyroid Hormones
Released by the adrenal glands, helps mobilize energy during stress situations, impacting carbohydrate metabolism.
Cortisol
produced by the pituitary gland, stimulates protein synthesis and cell division, impacting overall growth and development.
Growth hormone
Disruptions in the endocrine system can lead to metabolic disorders:
Hypothyroidism
Hyperthyroidism
Diabetes mellitus
