Why does lactose without lactase cause gas and diarrhea?
It gets converted to to lactic acid, and byproducts are methane.

Lactic acid is osmotically active, pulling water into intestines.
How many ATP are produced from glycolysis? NADH?
2 ATP

2 NADH
Why does most of muscle energy during a sprint come from glycolysis?
Not enough O2 for TCA

Fewer mitochondria to have more room for muscle fibers
How does insulin affect glucose uptake longterm?
Increases GLUT4 receptors.
What is the first enzyme in glycolysis? Its effects? Its regulators?
Hexokinase

It phosphorylates glucose, preventing it from escaping back into the blood

It is regulated by high G6P
What is the rate determining step in glycolysis?
PFK.
Aldolase
Fructose bisphosphate into GAP and dihydroxyacetone phosphate
How is ATP formed from glycolysis?
Phosphoglycerate kinase and pyruvate kinase convert ADP to ATP.
What are regulators of PFK?
ATP - inhibits.

AMP - activates.

Protons - inhibit (prevent lactate build up)
Inhibitors of PFK
Citrate

H+ (representing lactate)

ATP
Activators of PFK
AMP

F26BP
F26BP Cycle
Created by PFK2

Broken down by FBPase2

Activates PFK
FBPase2 (function, inhibitors, activators)
Inhibits glucose breakdown

Inhibited by phosphorylation

Phosphorylated by glucagon via cAMP

Insulin reverses effects
Downsides of Cori Cycle

Workaround for pyruvate kinase
Pyruvate carboxylase

Phosphenolpyruvate carboxykinase
Number of ATP used in gluconeogenesis
6 (number of ATP used in ?)
Alcohol's effects on glucose metabolism (3)
Cause hypoglycemia

Too much NADH produced (Inhibit gluconeogenesis b/c no pyruvate)

Cause lactic acidosis
Purpose of PPP
Make NADPH (for biosynthesis)

Make ribose (for biosynthesis)
First stage of PPP
Make 2 NADPH

Make 1 ribose
Starting substrate of PPP
G6P
G6P Dehydrogenase
G6P to lactone

Produces NADPH
Lactase (in PPP)
Lactone to gluconate
6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase
Gluconate to ribulose 5 phosphate

Produces NADPH
Isomerase (in PPP)
Ribulose 5 phosphate to ribose
Second stage of PPP
Convert ribose to glycolysis intermediates

2 Fructose 6 phosphate
1 GAP
Inhibitors of PPP
Low NADP+

High NADPH
Need ribose (not NADPH)
F6P and GAP (from glycolysis) are diverted to 2nd stage PPP
Need NADPH
Ribose converted to F6P and GAP

F6P and GAP go through gluconeogenesis
Need ATP and NADPH (re: PPP)
1st and 2nd stage of PPP

Glycolysis
GSH (name, function)
Glutathione

Relieves oxidative stress

Gets oxidized to prevent peroxides
Low GSH effects (2)
Hemolysis, b/c of higher peroxide levels

Hemoglobin forms cross-links after oxidizing
Heinz Bodies
Cross linked hemoglobin

Caused by low GSH
Antibiotics and hemolytic anemia (cause and treatment)
Antibiotics cause oxidative stress (if person has defective G6P dehydrogenase)

More glucose (drive PPP to the right)
Location of glycogen enzymes
On glycogen molecule
Degraded product of glycogen (and enzyme of conversion)
G1P

Phosphoglucomutase
Glucose phosphorylase
Breaks the 1,4 glucose linkages

Adds phosphate to glucose
Lysosomes (re glycogen)
Degrades some glycogen

Digestive organelles
Phosphorylase Equilibrium States
T (inactive)

R (active)
Activators of R state
AMP
Activators of T state
ATP

G6P
Phosphorylase a regulation
No allosteric effectors
Phosphorylase Kinase (role and regulation)
Phosphorylates phosphorylase b

Activated by glucagon

Glycogen synthesis
Primer started by glycogenin

Every 7 residues new branch is started
Glycogen synthesis regulation
cAMP inhibits (caused by glucagon)

G6P activates
Von Gierke's Disease (Type I) (cause and treatment)
Absence of G6P phosphatase (can't release glucose into blood stream)

Give a lot of glucose (liver won't need to release it)
Pompe's Disease (Type II)
Lysosomes can't break down glycogen; it accumulates in heart and causes enlargement
