Blood Coagulation
31
Reactions that need only 1 carbon usually come from...
folate
32
Energy Required to keep all organs functioning at rest...
33
Mifflin-St. Jeor Equation
More precise than the Basal Metabolic Rate
34
Daily Energy Need
35
If Caloric Intake Exceeds Daily Needs...
36
If Caloric Intake is below that of daily need...
37
Loss of one pound...
Loss of one pound is about 3500 Calories per week — 500 Calories per day.
38
Body Mass Index Definition
39
Scale of BMI
40
What are the Energy Sources?
41
Why does the removal of the (first two phosphate groups ony) on ATP release energy?
Phosphate want’s to be removed because the negative charges repel each other.
42
Muscle converts excess ATP...
Muscle converts excess ATP to Creatine Phosphate to get a reservoir of high energy intermediates.
43
Each individual Phospate bond to ATP releases how much energy?
7 kcal/mole is for each individual high energy bonds (there are two in each ATP.)
44
Draw the Metabolism Overview in the Fed State
45
Fat is not soluble in water and is instead
Fat is not soluble in water and is instead packaged into a Chylomicron.
46
Pancreas
Pancreas senses the change in blood glucose levels and creates Insulin and Alpha Cells of pancreases reduces Glucagon.
47
Insulin/Glucagon Ratio in the fed state
Insulin/Glucagon Ratio in the fed state is High
48
Glucose is stored as...
Glucose stored as glycogen and metabolized into Acetyl CoA
49
Chylomicrons
Transport Dietary Triglycerides
50
VLDL
Transports De Novo Triglycerides
51
Only Source of Energy for the Brain
Glucose
52
What organelles/features do RBC's Lack?
Nucleus or Mitochondria
53
Muscle will only uptake glucose under what conditions?
Muscle will only take glucose up from circulation when insulin is present.
54
Liver Glycogen
Used to maintain Glucose levels in the blood
55
Muscle Glycogen
Only used for muscle
56
Fat Cells only uptake Glucose under what conditions?
Glucose entry into fat cells is also insulin dependent
57
What tissues/when can they uptake Amino Acids?
All other tissues can use AA for energy some tissues will be insulin dependent AA uptake whereas others will be Insulin independent AA uptake.
58
Draw Metabolism in the Basal State
59
Glucose levels in between meals...
In between meals — Blood Glucose levels Drop
60
What does the liver do in the absence of glucose...
Liver — Glycogen Degradation is Stimulated for Blood Glucose Increase so brain can still get energy.
61
Brain doesn’t care that we’re not eating. Why?
Because it will use glucose that is broken down from liver glycogen stores.
62
RBC converts glucose into...
RBC — Glucose converted to lactate in RBCS
63
Function of Fat Cells
Fat Cells — Activation of Triglyceride hydrolysis and release of Fatty Acids into blood
64
How does the muscle react when Insulin/Glucagon ratio is low?
Muscle — Insulin Low — No Glucose Uptake — Uses Glycogen Stores
65
How does the liver react when Insulin/Glucagon Ratio is Low
Liver — Takes up FA to generate energy — KB transport Acetyl CoA throughout the body — FA in Liver is converted to Acetyl CoA — Gluconeogenisis— Synthesis of Glucose via other substrates
66
How is the Lactate made by RBC’s used?
used by Liver for Gluconeogenesis— Heart also uses lactate for energy
67
Draw Metabolism in the Starved State
68
Blood Glucose in Starved State
Blood Glucose is low — Insulin Down — Glucagon Up
69
How long after not eating is liver glucagon gone?
18-24 hours of not eating liver glycogen is gone
70
What are FA being used to generate in the Starved State?
FA is being used to make more ketone bodies
71
What are the energy sources for gluconeogenisis in the starved state?
Glycerol and Lactate are primary sources of gluconeogenesis
72
Brain Glucose Consumption in Starved State
Glucose being used by brain is now 60% of normal because other 40% is provided by KB
73
Functions of KB
KB reduce brain’s dependency on glucose which reduces the need for protein degradation
74
What ultimately kills us when starving?
Ultimately what will kill us during starvation is protein degredation
75
Can FA's be used to make Glucose?
FA’s can’t be used to make glucose.
76

Emia — Suffix for In the Blood.
77
Urea Suffix
