Glucose

52
Q

What organelles/features do RBC’s Lack?

A

Nucleus or Mitochondria

53
Q

Muscle will only uptake glucose under what conditions?

A

Muscle will only take glucose up from circulation when insulin is present.

Glucose entry into fat cells is also insulin dependent

57

58
Q

Draw Metabolism in the Basal State

A
59
Q

Glucose levels in between meals…

A

In between meals — Blood Glucose levels Drop

60
Q

What does the liver do in the absence of glucose…

A

Liver — Glycogen Degradation is Stimulated for Blood Glucose Increase so brain can still get energy.

61
Q

Brain doesn’t care that we’re not eating. Why?

A

Because it will use glucose that is broken down from liver glycogen stores.

62
Q

RBC converts glucose into…

RBC — Glucose converted to lactate in RBCS

63
Q

Function of Fat Cells

A

Fat Cells — Activation of Triglyceride hydrolysis and release of Fatty Acids into blood

64
Q

How does the muscle react when Insulin/Glucagon ratio is low?

A

Muscle — Insulin Low — No Glucose Uptake — Uses Glycogen Stores

65
Q

How does the liver react when Insulin/Glucagon Ratio is Low

A

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
Q

Ultimately what will kill us during starvation is protein degredation
