Q

Glucose catabolism - 4 steps

A

Glycolysis - produces 2 ATP, pyruvic acid (lactic if no O2 present)
Formation of Acetyl Coenzyme A, modified by several enzymes, matrix
Krebs cycle - Acetyl CoA to CO2, ATP, NADH, FADH2, matrix
Electron Transport Chain - NADH, FADH2 to ATP, membrane

Q

Oxygen debt, cycle

A

Borrow side creates lactic acid anaerobically

Repay side uses O2 to use up lactic acid in Cori cycle

Q

Glucose anabolism - 3 gluco/glyco terms

A

Glycogenesis - Create Glycogen from glucose, most stored in muscles, some in liver
Glycogenolysis - Lyse glycogen into glucose
Gluconeogenesis - use triglycerides, lactic acid, amino acids to create New Glucose

Q

Lipoproteins - 4

A

Chylomicrons - form in sm. intestine, transport lipids to adipose, mostly triglyceride
VLDL - form in hepatocytes, lose triglycerides, become LDL
LDL - high in cholesterol, deposit in body cells including blood vessels
HDL - high in protein, removes excess cholesterol back to liver

Q

Triglyceride storage (where), lipolysis - thru what process, forms what

A

Major function of adipose to remove triglycerides from VLDL
Adipose triglycerides 98% of body energy
lipolysis - triglycerides to glycerol and fatty acid, to harvest ATP. Goes through Beta Oxidation in matrix to form Acetyl Co-A.

Q

Fasting, starvation, ketone bodies

A

Fasting - go without food hours to days
Starvation - no or inadequate food weeks to months
Ketone bodies - formed by hepatocytes during fasting/starvation. Alternative fuel for RBC, neurons, CNS, skeletal muscles. Smells fruity.
