4 Major organs with role in metabolism

Liver


Adipose


Muscle


Brain

Communication for integration of energy metabolism between tissues is mediated by

-Availability of circulating substrates


-Nervous system


-Variation in levels of hormones

Primary hormones:

Insulin


Glucagon

Secondary hormones

Epinephrine


Norepinephrine

Changes in hormones levels allow

Store E when food available


Make stored E available when not

Insulin and glucagon are _ produced in _

Proteins


Pancreas

Exocrine pancreas is _ part of pancreas.


Is formed by _ cells (involved in secretion of _ into the _)

Large part


acinar cells


digestive enzymes


duodenum

Ductal cells: tubular network connects _ cells with _

acinar cells with gut tube

Endocrine pancreas: formed by _.


Responsible for _.


Is _ part of pancreas mass.

Islets of Langerhans


Hormone secretion


Small part

Insulin is made by _ of the _.


Glucagon made by _ of the _.

Beta cells of Islets of Langerhans


Alpha cells of islets of Langerhans.

Islets of Langerhans are made of 4 major cell types:


-___makes/secretes glucagon


-___makes/secretes insulin


-___makes/secretes somatostatin


-___makes/secretes pan polypeptides

-alpha cells (15-20%)


-beta cells (60-80%)


-delta cells


-F cells

Mature insulin structure is:



-51 Aa


-2 chains (A and B)


-2 disulfide bridges


-A chain has an intra-molex disulfide bridge

Steps of formation of mature insulin:


-Preprohormone called ___ is made





preproinsulin

Next, preprohormones are cleaved to make ___ called ____.


(___ seq is removed from protein. Protein folding and ___ forms)

prohormone called proinsulin


N-terminal seq removed, disulfide bridge forms.

Prohormones cleaved again to make __ (active hormone).


__ is removed (doesn't have signaling effects of insulin)

Mature insulin


Connecting peptide (C-peptide) removed.


NOTE: preproinsulin and proinsulin CANNOT FNCN AS HORMONES
