Diabetes T1 T2
T1- problem w/ pancreas producing insulin
T2 - problem w/ peripheral cells using or responding to insulin
diabetes symptoms
hyperglycemia
thirst - polydipsia
excessive urine production
rapid wt loss
Metabolic effects of diabetes
body acts as if 'starved' of CHO
body fat mobilized - broken down - produce ketones - acidosis
protein catabolized - ammonia released to buffer ketones
pancreatic islet B cell failure
due to autoimmune disease
viral destruction of B cells
Glucokinase genetic mutation
insulin release requires pancreatic glucose-sensing enzyme glucokinase & GLUT 2
mutations of either cause insulin release problems
T2
insulin resistance in muscle and adipose cells
takes unusually lg amts of insulin to regulate or control blood glucose w/in normal limits
Insulin Receptor
proteins
mutations in receptor
GLUT problems
interrupted insulin signal - T2
blocked insulin signal in cell - failure of vesicles to move to cell surface - reduced GLUTs - reduced glucose uptake
fat cells and diabetes
adipocytes show marked depletion of mRNA that encodes for GLUT 4 transporter protein = take in less glu

lg fat cells more insulin resistant - distorted cell membrane
abdominal obesity = incr. visceral fat - associated w/ insulin resistance - release FA that inhibit glu metabolism and insulin receptor fxn
GI Index
effect dif CHO foods have on blood glu levels
quantitative comparison b/w foods
reference food assigned value of 100 - white bread
GI load
blood glu response after 50g of test food / 50g pure glu x 100
uses more realistic / typical serving sizes for CHO foods
reflection of CHO foods effect on blood glu levels
Glycogenolysis
purpose: release of indiv. glu mol for further oxidation and use as fuel
glycogen phosphorlase
debranching enzyme
hexonase & gluconase
Triggers: glucagon + epinephrine + insulin
Glucogenesis
Purpose: provide glu to store as glycogen in muscle/liver
hepatocytes & muscle cells
Glu enters - hexokinase / glucokinase extract IP from ATM and attach to glu making G-6-P

glu
G-6-P
Glucogenesis - or - glucolysis
# ATP needed to add 1 Glu to glycogen chain
1 ATP
Key Metabolic Pathways of Nutrients
Mitochondria: focus of CHO, lipid, AA metabolism
Citric Acid / Krebs cycle, Beta Oxidation of FA, ketogenesis, respiratory chain, ATP synthesis

Cystosol: glycolysis, pentose phos pathway, FA synthesis

Ribosomes: protein synthesis

Endoplasmic Reticulum: Triglyceride synthesis
Why store E as glycogen and not Fat
can't breakdown fat as quickly as glycogen
fat cannot be burned/used in the absence of O2
Fat cannot be converted to glucose

glycogen takes too much space in cells and attracts lot of water
w/o G-6-Phosphatase
only glucose in liver
can't dump glucose in blood
hypoglycemic
w/o debranching enzyme
cannot move glu to break 1,6 bond & release glu to make G-6-P & release glu to blood
only break down so far
w/o glycogen phosphorylase in liver
can't break down glycogen at all
key step in breaking off glucose
ETC & Oxidative Phosphorylation
BIG PICTURE
Simple Combustion/oxidation:
glucose + fire = Co2 + H2O + Heat

Cellular Oxidation:
glucose [via metabolism] = Co2 + H2O + Heat + ATM

CHO, Fat, Pro oxidized to: CO2, H2O, ATP, Heat

ETC - 4 complexes (3 are pumps)
overall driving force behind ETC = NADH2 wants to give up e- and O2 wants e-
oxidative phosphorylation
MAJOR means of making ATP - indirect
ADP + P = ATP

H collected and pumped through membrane space of mitochondria
1 NADH2 = 3 ATP via ATPase
1 FADH2 = 2 ATP
How to Make ATP
BIG PICTURE
Addition of P molecule in phosphorylation

2 ways: substrate level phosphorylation; oxidative phosphorylation

phosphate anhydride bond holds onto bonds of ATP
splitting of P bond is exothermic and releases E
Adenosine - P~P~P
-P = ADP + 7300cal/mol
-2P = AMP + 7300cal/mol

GLucose + P + 4000cals/mole = G-6-P

7300cal-4000cal to put P on G6P precursor = 3300 calories to maintain 98.6 temp
Harvesting Hydrogens for NADH
NAD+ + e- = NAD
NAD + H = HADH
NADH + H = NADH2
1 spin of Krebs cycle w/ 1 Acetyl CoA
1 ATP
8H
2Co2
1 molecule of glucose through Krebs cycle =
w/ 2 pyruvate to begin
2 ATP
16 H
4 Co2
Krebs cycle
aerobic metabolism
final catabolic pathway of fat, protein, CHO - complete oxidation to Co2, H20, E
oxidative rxns are dehydrogenations
enzymes catalyze removal of 2H to an acceptor molecule FAD or NAD
H's are source of E for formation of ATP in ETC
steps in Krebs
Pyruvate (2)
Acetyl CoA
Citrate
Isocitrate
NADH2
Ketoglutarate

breaks down glycogen & turns on glycogenolysis
Glycogenolysis
BIG PICTURE
glucose cleaved 1 at a time from glycogen branches

def: breakdown of glycogen to glucose

fxn: designed to liberate glucose from stored form as

glycogen for use in muscle cells and exported to blood

BRAKE: insulin inhibits glucogenolysis
SPEED UP: epinephrine (muscles) / glucagon (liver)
turned on by hormones: glucagon & epinephrine

w/ lot of ATP, no need to break down glycogen
Glycogen
BIG PICTURE

liver and muscle (75%)
Liver - purpose to provide glucose to blood
