Q

describe the cori cycle

A

glucose made into pyruvate then lactate in the muscle then lactate put into blood and into liver where it is turned back into glcose through gluconeogenesis

16
Q

what molecule in gluconeo path is transferred to cytoplasm?

A

oxaloacetate

17
Q

what is the shuttle used to get oxaloacetate into the cytoplasm to continue gluconeo?

A

malate shuttle

18
Q

what enzyme replaces PFK1 from glycolysis in gluconeo?

A

fructose 1,6 bisphosphatase

19
Q

what does fructose 1,6 bisphosphate work on?

A

makes fructose 1,6 bisphosphate into fructose 6 phospate

20
Q

what enzyme replaces hexokinase in gluconeo?

A

glucose 6 phosphatase

21
Q

how many ATP does gluconeo use?

A

4 ATP

22
Q

how many GTP does gluconeo use?

A

2 GTP

23
Q

how many NADH does gluconeo use?

A

2 NADH

24
Q

what is the regulatory step of gluconeo?

A

fructose 1,6 bisphosphatase is regulatory enzyme

25
Q

does low or high energy status activate PFK1?

A

low energy

26
Q

does low or high energy status activate fructose 1,6 bisphosphatase?

A

high energy…or low AMP

27
Q

does high or low citrate stimulate fructose 1,6 bisphosphatase?

A

high citrate…means TCA working a ton already

28
Q

does high or low glucose stimulate fructose 1,6 bisphosphatase?

A

low glucose

29
Q

what does alcohol do to blood sugar? why?

A

will cause hypoglycemia because it ramps up NADH production and that prevents making of gluconeogenesis

30
Q

what is main location of gluconeo?

A

in liver
