Uses for NADPH
Anabolic processes (steroid and FA synthesis); Respiratory burst (WBCs); P-450; Glutathione reductase (RBCs)
Liver/pancreas substitute for hexokinase, and why
Glucokinase - has a much higher Km (much lower affinity) but much higher Vmax (capacity) than hexokinase, to allow huge amounts of glucose to be processed fast. Insulin induced, vs hexokinase.
Role of NAD/NADH in lactate <-> pyruvate <-> TCA balance
In both, NADH --> NAD+, so either one or the other has to happen, to regenerate NAD+
Glycolysis ATP requiring steps
Glc -(hexo/glucokinase)-> G6P; F6P -(PFK-1)-> F1,6BP
Glycolysis ATP producing steps
1,3BPG -(phosphoglycerate kin)-> 3PG; Phosphoenolpyruvate -(pyruvate kinase)-> pyruvate
Effect of citrate on glycolysis

F2,6BP regulation
In the pancreas, stand in for INSULIN regulation. Insulin (fed state) deactivates cAMP and thus PKA and FBPase-2 while activating PFK-2. More F2,6BP --> Increased PFK-1 activity and more glycolysis. Glucagon works oppositely.

Significance of Isocitrate dehydrogenase in Krebs
Irreversible, commits acetyl CoA to the Krebs cycle
