| Term | Definition |
|---|
| Glycogenesis | conversion of glucose to glycogen in the liver |
| Glycogenolysis | glycogen broken down into glucose |
| Gluconeogenesis | the liver uses amino acids, lactate, and glycerol to make glucose |
| Glucokinase | Glucose -> Glc-6-p |
| Hormonal Activators of Glycogenolysis | Glucagon, Epinephrine, and Cortisol |
| Secreted from Alpha cells in the pancreas | glucagon |
| Activation of Glycogenolysis in Muscle | Epinephrine through the beta-ar (fight-flight) |
| Kinase | adds a phosphate group |
| Secreted from Beta cells in the pancrease | insulin |
| Insulin | promotes glycogen storage |
| Hypoglycemia | blood concentration below 2.5 mmol/L |
| glycogen is stored in... | the liver and muscle |
| Muscle recognizes ___ not ____ | epi / glycogen |
| Glycogenesis Regulatory Enzyme | Glycogen Synthase |
| Glc-1-P -> Glc-6-P | phosphoglucomutase |
| Glc-6-P -> Glucose | Glc-6-Pase |
| Glycogen | storage form of glucose |
| Glucagon weighs | 3500Da |
| Glucagon is secreted from ___ cells | alpha |
| phosphorylation by pka ______ glycogenolysis | activates |
| pka ____ inhibitor-1 protein | activates |
| pka ____ glycogen | inactivates |
| Regulatory Enzymes of Gluconeogenesis | PFK-1 and Fru-1,6-BPase |
| Gluconeogenesis is regulated by | Acetyl CoA |
| Fru-6-P -> Fru-1,6-BP | PFK-1 |
| Fru-1,6-BP -> Fru-6-P | Fruc-1,6-BPase |
| Fru-6-P -> Fru-2,6-BP | PFK-2 |
| Fru-2,6-BP -> Fru-6-P | Fruc-2,6-BPase-P |
