Q

How is glucose stored?

  • what does it get stored as?
  • what processes store it?
  • what process converts it back?
  • where is it stored?
A
  • stored as glycogen
  • glucose -> glycogen = glycogenesis
  • glycogen -> glucose = glycogenolysis
  • stored in liver, muscles

Q

How is fatty acids and glycerol stored?

  • what does it get stored as?
  • what processes store it?
  • what process converts it back?
A
  • stored as triglycerides
  • fatty acid -> triglyceride = lipogenesis
  • triglyceride -> fatty acid = lipolysis
  • stored in adipose tissue

Q

How are amino acids stored?

  • what does it get stored as?
  • what processes store it?
  • what process converts it back?
A
  • stored as protein
  • amino acid -> protein = protein synthesis
  • protein -> amino acid = protein degradation
  • stored in muscle

Q

1 hour after a person has eaten, which of the following would you expect to observe?

a) gluconeogenesis in the liver
b) lipolysis in fat cells
c) protein synthesis in muscle cells
d) glycogenolysis in the liver

EXPLAIN AND DEFINE TERMS.

A

c

gluconeogenesis = production of glucose from non-carbohydrates (glucose from meal, so no need to make more)

lipolysis = break down of triglyceride to fatty acids (no need for energy)

protein synthesis = amino acids turn to protein (for storage of access amino acids, so yes!)

glycogenolysis = break down of glycogen to glucose (no need for more glucose)

Q

What hormones are produced by the endocrine pancreas?

A

insulin
c peptide
glucagon
somatostatin

16
Q

Enzymes secreted by the pancreas go into….

A

Duodenum

17
Q

Hormones secreted by the Islet of Langerhans go into…

A

the blood stream

18
Q

What is found in the pancreas that contains cells that secrete hormones?

A

Islet of langerhans

19
Q

what is the Islet of Langerhans surrounded by?

A

Exocrine/acinar cell

20
Q

what is another word for acinar cell?

A

exocrine cell

21
Q

what can be found on exocrine cells?

A

zymogen

22
Q

What are zymogen?

A

???

23
Q

What can be found in abundance in the Islet of Langerhans, and what is their function?

A

capillaries to transport hormones into the blood stream

24
Q

What are 3 cells that can be found in the Islet of Langerhans?

A
  1. Beta cell
  2. alpha cell
  3. delta cell
25
Q

What does the beta cell secrete?

A

Mostly insulin

Some c-peptide

26
Q

What does the alpha cell secrete?

A

glucagon

27
Q

what does the delta cell secrete?

A

somatostatin

28
Q

what is insulin still inside the beta cell called?

A

proinsulin

29
Q

What signals target cells to change between the fasting/feeding states?

A

Insulin + glucagon signals

30
Q

what type of receptor does insulin bind to?

A

receptor-enzyme

31
Q

what type of receptor does glucagon bind to?

A

G protein-coupled receptor

32
Q

what is the basic cascade of effects that binding of insulin or glucagon causes on a cell?

A

binding to receptor -> second messenger system -> phosphorylate proteins -> cellular response

33
Q

what doe the graph of glucose concentration to time look like?

A 
morning: 80
increases after every meal but completely recovers (except breakfast)
after breakfast: 100
each meal causes increase to be bigger.
falls back to around 80 at night
34
Q

what doe the graph of insulin concentration to time look like?

A

slightly lags behind [glucose] graph

  • morning: 15
  • peaks after meals
  • peaks most in morning then decreases
  • mostly recovers after each peak, but usually a bit lower
  • night: 10
35
Q

what doe the graph of glucagon concentration to time look like?

A
  • mostly steady
  • inverse to [glucose]: glucose high = lower glucagon
  • around 1~2 constantly
36
Q

what controls glucose homeostasis?

A

insulin to glucagon ratio
