Q

What is the point of the glucose-alanine cycle?

A

so you can use the breakdown products of glycolysis from other tissues and put them into the liver to make gluconeogenesis since it is the only organ that can do this

Q

Why will your levels of ATP and acetyl CoA be high during fasting?

A

because you will be undergoing beta oxidation! What does this tell us…. IT tells us that we should stimulate gluconeogenesis :)

Q

Liver gluconeogenesis is linked to (blank) in other tissues. Why?

A

glycolysis

so that gluconeogenesis can occur since it only occurs in the liver

18
Q

How does the cori cycle work?

A

RBC break down glucose into lactate, lactate gets transferred to the liver where it is used in gluconeogenesis

21
Q

Why cant the muscle undergo gluconeogenesis?

A

because it doesnt have glucose 6 phosphatase! this means that when it breaks down glycogen it will just go straight into the TCA cycle. SO you can think of its glycogen stores as just being part of glycolysis so that when you are thinking about allosteric effectors it will make more sense. I.e AMP, ADP will stimulate glycogen breakdown (glycolysis).

Q

What is also an allosteric effector of the muscle that is somewhat confusing?

A

epinephrine, it will breakdown glycogen stores promote glycolysis in the muscle because epinephrine promotes gluconeogenesis which will only happen in the liver and since muscle can only make lactate to be transfered to the liver to undergo gluconeogenesis it will do just that

34
What causes fructose intolerance?
problem w/ fructose 1 phosphate aldolase
35
What does triose kinase do?
bypasses PFK1 to make G3P from glyceraldehyde
36
In fatty acid synthesis we convert acetyl CoA to malonyl CoA with acetyl CoA Carboxylase. Acetyl CoA Carboxylase is activated by (blank) and inhibited by (Blank).
citrate | palmitoyl CoA
37
What inhibits CPT1?
malonyl CoA
38
What causes Von Gierkes disease?
deficiency with G6Pase
39
What is the cause of Pompe disease?
deficiency in alpha glucosidase (so you wont have breakdown of alpha 1,4 and alpha 1,6 bonds)
40
What is the cause of cori disease or forbes disease?
have a problem with amylo 1,6 glucosidase (i.e you dont have your glycogen debranching enzyme)
41
What is the cause of andersons disease?
dont have branching enzyme so you just have really long chains

glut 5 (uses fructose)
71
What three enzymes does insulin increase to upregulate fatty acid synthesis?
``` increases ATP citrate lyase (converts citrate into OAA and Acetyl COA for fatty acid synthesis) Malic enzyme (converts malate from the TCA cycle into pyruvate for FA synthesis and makes NADPH) ```
72
