CC DA2- Carbohydrates Flashcards
(39 cards)
hydrates of aldehyde or ketone derivatives based on the location of the carboxyl functional group
carbohydrates
what is the simplest carbohydrate
Glycol aldehyde
ONLY carbohydrate to be used in energy
Glucose
a. Reducing sugars: (5)
b. Non-reducing sugars: (2)
a. Galactose, Fructose, Glucose, Lactose, Maltose
b. Sucrose (do not contain aldehyde and ketone group), Trehalose
Produced by the beta cells to the pancreatic islets of langerhans
Insulin
promotes the entry of glucose into liver, muscle and adipose tissue to be stored as glycogen and fat
Insulin
synthesized by delta cells of the pancreatic islets of langerhans
somatostatin
inhibits secretion of insulin, glucagon and growth hormone resulting in an increase in plasma glucose level
somatostatin
insulin antagonists
growth hormone
decreases glucose entry to cells, increases glycolysis
growth hormone
releases cortisol
ACTH
Cortisol stimulates :
Gluconeogenesis, lipolysis, Glycogenolysis
Epinephrine stimulates :
lipolysis, Glycogenolysis
Glucagon stimulates :
Gluconeogenesis, Glycogenolysis
“GGG”
physical and emotional stress causes increases secretion of:
Epinephrine
Secreted by the adrenal glands
Cortisol
Secreted by the medulla of adrenal glands
Epinephrine
Secreted by the alpha cells
Glucagon
Thyroxine stimulates:
Gluconeogenesis, Glycogenolysis
Secreted by the thyroid gland:
Thyroxine
metabolism of glucose to lactate or pyruvate for energy
glycolysis
formation of glucose-6-phosphatase from non-carbohydrate source
gluconeogenesis
breakdown of glycogen to glucose for use as energy
Glycogenolysis
conversion of glucose to glycogen for storage
Glycogenesis
