Exam II cards Flashcards
(223 cards)
fructose is synthesized in the body from glucise via the
polyol pathway
in the lens of the eye if it accumulates can lead to cataracts
fructose
how is fructose metabolized
conversion to intermediates of glycolysis
fructose enters cells via
GLUT 5 transporter
fructose is converted to fructose 1 phosphate via
fructokinase (uses an ATP)
fructose is phosphorylated and cleaved to yield what two intermediates of glycolysis
dihydroxyacetone-P and glyceraldehyde 3-P
where does fructose metabolism occur
liver
function of aldolases in fructose metabolism
all cleave F1,6 bisphoophate
what enzyme is soley responsible for cleaving fructose 1 phosphate
aldolase B
what is the rate limiting enzyme of fructose metabolism
aldolase B
what is the function of muscle and adipose hexokinase when glucose is low
fructose is converted to fructose 6 phosphate
aldolase A is found
muscle
essential fructosuria
deficiency in fructose kinase
hereditary fructose intolerance
deficiency in aldolase B
why is aldolase B deficiency or hereditary fructose intolerance fatal
no aldolase B so fructose 1-6 cannot be cleaved but is also inhibits breakdown of glycogen and gluconeogenesis and results in hypoglycemia, high lactate and low ATP
what are the two steps to the polyol pathway
1) reduction of C1 by aldolase reductoase
2) oxidation of C2 by sorbitol dehydrogenase
the polyol pathway is important in
seminal vesicles
what population has a very high rate of galactose metabolism
neonates
galactose is converted to galactose 1 phosphate via
galactokinase (uses atp)
galactose 1 phosphate is converted to glucose 1 phosphate via
galactose 1 phosphate uridylyltransferase
UDP galactose can be converted to UDP glucose via
Epimerase
when lactose is cleaved in is converted to
glucose and galactose
function of PPP
generated NADPH for redcuing equivalents and ribose 5 phosphate for nucleotide biosynthesis
______is the only source of NADPH for RBC’s
PPP
