3. Metabolism Flashcards
(16 cards)
glycogenesis
storage of carbohydrates as glycogen in muscle
glycogenolysis
use of carbohydrates through breakdown of glycogen
fermentation
metabolism in the absence of oxygen
pyruvate is reduced to ethanol or lactic acid
produces 2 ATP
pentose phosphate pathway
creates NADPH and pentoses
controlled by NADPH levels
insulin promotes…
glycolysis and glycogenesis
decreases blood glucose
glucagon promotes…
gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis
increases blood glucose
beta-oxidation
fasting state
fatty acids to acetyl coA
in any organ (mitochondria)
O- oxidation
H- hydrolysis
O-oxidation
T- thiolysis
ketogenesis
prolonged fasting state
fatty acids to ketone bodies
in the liver
driven by excess acetyl-CoA
chylomicron
lipoprotein made in the intestines
primary transport for lipids from intestines to liver
VLDL
made in liver
transports triglycerides, phospholipids and cholesterol to muscle and adipocytes
HDL
made in liver
picks up stray fatty acids and triglycerides and brings them back to the liver
anabolism
during fed state
protein formation
catabolism
during fasting state
protein breakdown
enzymes that cleave proteins
trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase
where do muscles get glycogen?
they have their own storage
