Fed
glucose from dietary carbs
Fasting
glucose from glycogen stores (primary source)

glucose from new synths (secondary source)
Starving
glucose from new synths

glucose is scarce
What is the ideal amount of daily glucose?
70 - 100 mg/dL for RBC and brain
Hyperglycemia
macrovascular complications:retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy

microvascular:stroke, cardiovascular disease

to much glucose
Hypoglycemia
CNS symptoms:headache, confusion, slurred speech, seizures, coma, death

too low blood glucose levels
Fatty acids are broken down into?
ketone bodies in the liver
Glucose, fatty acids, and ketone bodies are oxized to produce?
ATP
What signals metabolic states?
glucose
How is glucose availability communicated?
via the synthesis of hormones
Fed state signal
synthesis of insulin in the beta cells of the pancreas

tells organs that high levels of glucose are in circulation
Fasting state/starvation signal
synthesis of glucagon in the alpha cells of the pancreas

tells organs that low levels of glucose are circulating
Glycolysis
oxidation of glucose

results in ATP
Lipolysis
degradation of fat stores (triacylglycerols)

release fatty acids
Glycogenolysis
degradation of glycogen stores

release glucose
Ketolysis
oxidation of ketone bodies

results in ATP
B-oxidation
oxidation of fatty acids

results in ATP
Glycogenesis
synthesis of glycogen stores

stores glucose
Lipogenesis
synthesis of fat stores

stores fatty acids
Gluconeogenesis
new synthesis of glucose from nonsugars

produce glucose
Ketogenesis
synthesis of ketone bodies from fatty acids

produce ketone bodies
Insulin in the liver
stimulates: glycolysis, fatty acid synthesis, glycogenesis
Insulin in muscle
glucose xport into cells, glycogenesis, protein synths, amino acid xport into cells
Insulin in adipose
glucose xport into cells, lipogenesis
Insulin in brain/RBCs
NO EFFECT!!
Active pathways in Brain during fed state
glycolysis (ATP from glucose)
Active pathways in RBCs during fed state
glycolysis (ATP from glucose)
Active pathways in Liver during fed state
glycolysis, glycogenesis (storage of gluc), fatty acid synths
Active pathways in Adipose during fed state
glycolysis, lipogenesis (storage of fatty acids from the liver VLDLs & dietary chylomicrons)
Active pathways in muscle during fed state
glycolysis, glycogenesis, prot synths
Active pathways in Brain during fasting state
glycolysis

ketolysis (ATP from ketone bodies)

glucagon has no effect on brain
Active pathways in RBCs during fasting state
glycolysis

glucagon has no effect on RBCs
Active pathways in Liver during fasting state
energy ATP from fatty acids

ketogenesis, gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis, B-oxidation

glucagon causes gluconeog, glycogenoly
Active pathways in Adipose during fasting state
ATP from fatty acids

lipolysis, B-oxidation

glucagon causes lipolysis
Active pathways in Muscle during fasting state
energy from fatty acids & ketone bodies

B-oxidation, ketolysis, prot degradation

glucagon has NO EFFECT on muscle
What is the bodies source of glucose during starvation?
glycogen stores are depleted

gluconeogenesis only source of blood glucose

brain uses ketones for glucose during starvation
Fasting
equal level of ketone bodies and fatty acids
Starvation
more ketone bodies used than fatty acids

muscle switches to fatty acids for fuel
Diabetes Mellitus
high blood glucose is interpreted as low blood glucose

Fed state is interpreted as fasting/starvation

absence of endogenous insulin or absence of insulin response

Hyperglycemia
