Chapter 9 Flashcards
Carb involved in the TCA cycle that keeps it spinning?
oxaloacetate
What is another name for glycolysis and where does it occur?
anaerobic metabolism
cytosol
Component that connects metabolism of carbs, lipids, and proteins?
pantothenic acid-> Acetyl CoA
How many ATP formed in anaerobic metabolism of a carb?
2
How many ATP formed in aerobic metabolism of a carb?
30-32
What is the purpose of generating lactate in anaerobic metabolism?
replenish NAD+ supply
2 steps in fatty acid metabolism?
lipolysis-> beta oxidation (in mitochondria)
What can’t make glucose?
fatty acids
Acetyl CoA cannot be made into?
pyruvate
Ketogenesis
formation of ketone bodies (FA)
Acetone
ketone leaves body by lungs
Ketosis in Diabetes Miletus
rapid lipolysis-> ketosis-> diabetic ketoacidosis
Ketosis in semi-starvation
more gradual
What are 3 compounds formed by 2 Acetyl CoA?
Acetone
Acetoacetic Acid
beta-Hydroxybutyric acid
What occurs to blood-glucose levels during starvation?
- blood-glucose decreases
- breakdown of glycogen in muscles and liver increases blood-glucose
- blood-glucose decreases
- breakdown of fats-> fatty acids
breakdown of proteins-> AA-> glucose - ketones (FA)
What attributes to most of weight loss early on?
glycogen binds to H2O
What happens to glucose in type I diabetes?
cannot be taken in cell and remains in blood
increases in blood lipids, ketone bodies, and blood-glucose
Why are ketone bodies dangerous?
they are acidic and denature proteins which in turn, decrease blood pH which is dangerous for body functions
What is the purpose of forming ketones?
preserve body proteins and enable protein actions
Where does protein metabolism occur?
in liver
Where are branched chain amino acids metabolized?
by muscles
What occurs during the deamination stage?
protein (which contains N) has the element removed by vitamin B6 which results in a empty carbon skeleton
What vitamin can make other AAs?
Vitamin B6
Glycogenic AA
form pyruvate or bypass Acetyl CoA to enter citric cycles
* becomes glucose
Ketogenic AA
Acetyl-CoA (cannot become part of glucose)
* Acetyl-CoA (cannot form oxalacetate)
What is gluconegenesis?
formation of new glucose not from glucose
Where does gluconegenesis occur and what does it require?
in liver
ATP, B1, B2, B3, B6
What occurs after the deamination stage of protein metabolism?
excess AA is converted to Ammonia (NH3) and then into urea
Relationship between liver disease and ammonia?
can build up and cause blood toxicity
What is the toxic agent in kidney disease?
urea
carbs-> glycogen used for?
1.fatty acid synthesis
2.AA synthesis
3.formation of ATP
amino acids-> new body proteins used for?
new AAs
make glucose
make ATP
Fatty acid metabolism?
1.stored as fat/adipose tissue
2.produce ATP
3.produce ketone bodies
What organ is responsible for most nutrient interconversions?
liver
What does high ATP do to metabolism?
decrease glycolysis and promote anabolic reactions
What does high ADP do to metabolism?
stimulate energy yielding/catabolic pathways
