is the universal fuel of human cells.

Glucose

Every cell types in the human body is able to generate

adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

the pathway in which glucose is oxidized and cleaved to form .

pyruvate.

is the major sugar in our diet and the sugar circulates in the blood to ensure that all cells have a continous fuel supply.

Glucose

uses glucose almost exclusively as fuel.


Brain

It is complex reaction due to it is used in other metabolic processes in the cell

Metabolic intermediates

helps the cell to handle metabolic energy efficiently


Multiple step pathway

- Demonstrated that blood sugar levels

Claude Bernard

Claude Bernard demonstrated that blood sugar levels vary in the different area of the circulation in?


Portal Blood -


Hepatic Vein -

Higher blood sugar level in demonstration of claude bernard in circilation

Hepatic vein

Lower blood sugar level in demonstration of claude bernard in circulation

Portal vein


How many percent of food ingested is complex carbohydrates?


60%

fragmented into simple monosacccharides


Starch and Glycogen

- no digestive enzymes for humans


Cellulose and Pentosans

bacterial enzyme that acts on cellulose , however, nutritive value is insignificant

Cellulase

- acted upon by bacteria to produce organic acids , alcohols and carbon dioxide.


Pentosans

Mainly occurs in the SI carried to the portal vein to the liver


Absorbtion

Rate of absorption :


Glucose -


Galactose -


Fructose -


Mannose -


Pentose

Glucose -100%


Galactose - 110%


Fructose - 43%


Mannose - 19%


Pentose - 9-5%


actively absorbed and transported across the cell membrane by an energy dependent mechanism

Glucose and Galactose

inhibitory to glucose absorption

K AND Li

- Absorbed by facilitated transport.


D-fructose and D-mannose

- Passively absorbed by simple diffusion

Pentose

Galactose decreases the absorption orate of? 2 possible answers

Galactose and xylose


Glucose but no effect on xylose

structurally similar to glucose

Phlorhizin

Phlorhizin (structurally similar to glucose) inhibits glucose transport and Causes?

phlorhizin glycosuria

Ehat vitamins that affect the absorbtion of CHO?

Thyroxine and the B complex

vitamins promote absorption of hexoses

: (Thiamine , Pyridoxine , Pantothenic Acid)

- Increased sugar levels in the blood

Hyperglycemia

,Result when the liver cannot completely clear the CHO from the blood and it goes to the systemic circulation

Hyperglycemia

Capacity of a person to dispose off administered glucose


Glucose tolerance test

Glucose tolerance tolerance


Dose:


Administration:


Results:

Dose: 1 g glucose/kg body weight


Administration: orally or intravenously


Results: Glucose level will rise from 90 to 140mg% in one hour

passageof carbohydrates (and lipids) in intestinal mucosal cells is inhibited

SPRUE

CHO malabsorption/disaccharide intolerance

- Lactose intolerance/ lactase deficiency syndrome


- Sucrose intolerance


- a-dextrinase deficiency (infants and children)

Incomplete digestion of amylopectin, maltose,sucrose

a-dextrinasedeficiency

lactose leads to bacterial decomposition in the LARGE INTESTINE

- Lactose intolerance/ lactase deficiency

blood glucose ranges


NV =


FBS =


Postprandial =

NV = 80 – 100 mg%


FBS = 70– 100 mg%


Postprandial = 130– 160 mg%

it is system is dependent on normalvalues blood glucose

Cranial nervous system

isthe major energy source that crosses the blood-brain barrier

Glucose

Ifglucose falls to 25 mg%

>Person becomes stuporous


>After 10 minutes = coma


>Irreversible after 30 minutes

Themuscle can derive energy from

ketonebodies

The ______ take up fatty acids and lactic acid fromblood and use as source of energy

myocardium

isinsensitive to fluctuations of blood sugar levels

Theheart

keeps blood sugar levels

Physiologicaland Hormonal mechanisms

Physiological and hormonalmechanisms keeps blood sugarlevels at what mg%

60%

Physiological Factors that lower blood glucose levels

1. Glycogenesis


2. Glycolysis


3. Lipogenesis –


4. Formation of certain amino acids


5. Glucosuria –

transformation of glucose intoglycogen

Glycogenesis –

utilization of glucose for heat and energy

Glycolysis –

– conversion of glucose to fats

Lipogenesis

excretion of glucose in the urine

Glucosuria –

Insulin- Hormone secreted by ____ of islets of _______ in the _______.

Insulin- Hormone secreted by B-cells of islets of Langerhans in the pancreas

hypoglycemic effect by;


o Increasing ________


o Decreasing _________


o Increasing _________


o Promoting _________

o Increasing glycogenesis

o Decreasing gluconeogenesis


o Increasing glucose utilization by tissues


o Promoting lipogenesis

less phosphorylation

Deficient insulin

Glucoseremains in the blood producing

hyperglycemia

Ifits concentration exceeds the renal threshold, what will happen ?

it will excreted in the urine

To cover energy requirements: (during a hypoglycemic state)

Gluconeogenesis


Lipolysis

Production of glucose from non-carbohydratesources like proteins

Gluconeogenesis

- Breakdown of fats

lipolysis

in lipolysis patient will loss how many glucose per day ?



100-200g of glucose

o Renal excretion of acetoacetic acid and B-hydroxybutyric acid in the form of Na salts


o The blood is depleted of Na producing acidosis


o Large quantity of fluid is lost = dehydration
