1
New cards

Catabolism

Breakdown; releases energy.

2
New cards

Anabolism

Build-up; consumes energy.

3
New cards

Amphibolic Pathway

acts at the crossroads of anabolic and catabolic metabolism;

TCA cycle is the source example.

4
New cards

ATP

Cellular energy currency;

energy is stored in ATP bonds and released on hydrolysis.

5
New cards

Substrate-level phosphorylation:

direct transfer of high-energy phosphate to ADP.

6
New cards

 Oxidative phosphorylation:

ATP synthesis using energy from electron transport in mitochondria.

7
New cards

Fed state

Glycolysis

Glycogenesis

Lipogenesis

Insulin predominates

8
New cards

Fasted state

Glycogenolysis

Gluconeogenesis

Lipolysis

Glucagon predominates

9
New cards

Embden-Meyerhof pathway:

main pathway for glucose oxidation in human tissues; occurs in cytoplasm.

10
New cards

10 enzyme-catalyzed steps yields?

2 pyruvate.

11
New cards

Cytoplasm


glycolysis location

12
New cards

Steps

GLYCOLYSIS

10 total

13
New cards

Phase 1

GLYCOLYSIS

Steps 1-5 = energy investment

14
New cards

Phase 2

GLYCOLYSIS

Steps 6-10 = energy payoff

15
New cards

Irreversible steps

GLYCOLYSIS

1, 3, 10

16
New cards

Rate-limiting step

GLYCOLYSIS

Step 3

17
New cards

Source ATP values

GLYCOLYSIS

2 ATP without NADH;

7 ATP with NADH

18
New cards

PYRUVATE FATES

 Aerobic context ->

 Anaerobic context ->

acetyl-CoA -> TCA cycle.

fermentation pathway in the source.

19
New cards

GLUCONEOGENESIS

 Makes new glucose from pyruvate, amino acids, glycerol, or lactate.

 Requires biotin

liver, kidneys, intestinal epithelium.

20
New cards

Lactate -> glucose =

alanine -> glucose =

Cori cycle;

Cahill/alanine cycle.

22
New cards

GLYCOGENOLYSIS

 Fasted state; stimulated by glucagon; increases blood glucose.

 Glycogen phosphorylase breaks alpha-1,4 bonds.

23
New cards

type 0

Glycogen synthase

N/A

24
New cards

type I-a

Glucose-6-phosphatase

Von Gierke

25
New cards

type I-b

Glucose-6-translocase


26
New cards

type II

Lysosomal alpha-glucosidase

Pompe - acid maltase deficiency

27
New cards

type IV

Branching enzyme

Andersen’s – amylopectinosis

28
New cards

type 5

Muscle glycogen phosphorylase

Mc Ardle’s

29
New cards

type 6

Hepatic glycogen phosphorylase

Hers’

30
New cards

type 7

Phosphofructokinase

Tarui’s

31
New cards

G6PD Deficiency –

causes hemolytic anemia due to decrease NADPH from PPP → decreased active GSH → increase oxidative stress → increase hemolysis

32
New cards

PENTOSE PHOSPHATE PATHWAY (HMP SHUNT)

generates NADPH and provides ribose-5-phosphate for nucleotide synthesis.

33
New cards

Malate-aspartate .

Transfers cytosolic reducing equivalents into mitochondria efficiently

34
New cards

Glycerol phosphate

Transfers cytosolic reducing equivalents through FAD-linked pathway.
