PHYS4

Metabolism and Energy Balance I

QuestionAnswer
What is the absorptive state? Nutrients enter blood from GI tract
Where is energy coming from to help in this process? Glucose (via carbs)
What is the absorptive state doing? Store fuel as energy to maintain blood glucose
what is this fuel being stored as? Glycogen, triaglycerol, and protein
What does the post-absorptive state do? Tap into stored energy to maintain fuel supply
SO. I've eaten my carb full meal. Talk to me about energy and stuch. carbs broken into glucose, which is stored as fat (triglycerides) and glycogen
Where do absorbed carbs get converted to glycogen? Liver and skeletal muscle
Where does the a small amount of the gludose go? Stored as ATP, CO2+Water
Where does the other half of the glycogen get stored as? In adipocytes as fatty acids combine to form triaglycerides
How does the liver secrete the stroed triglycerides? in VLDL
What is the molecule that is OUR MAIN SOURCE OF ENERGY? Monoglycerides
Where do MOST OF our fatty acids go? Rebuilt into adipose tissue
What happens to AMINO ACIDS? Converted to proteins, but most become CHO and fat
What does the liver do? Forms urea
What are ketoacids? Carb like intermieidate that go through the krebs cycle to create energy
Does the liver take up more glucose or deoes it secrete more glucose? Liver has a net update of glucose
The post-absorptive state serves to benifit what? The CNS, because it will ONLY take GLUOSE to function
How is blood glucose maintained? combo of glucose production by the liver and alternating between fatty acid and ketone utilization by most tissues
The liver forms glucose by what two methods? 1. Glycogenolysis of its own glycogen and gluconeogensesis
What is the max amount of glucose storedi in liver? 4 hours worth
GLUCONEOGENSIS involves what three processes and where do they come from? 1) Lactate and pyruvate from muscles 2) glycerol (from adipose tissue) and 3) amino acids from protein catabolism of skeletal muscle
When we're glucose sparing, most fo teh body's energy supply comes from???? Fatty acids from adipose tissues via krebs cycle 2) Ketons from fatty acids by liver
Which do we do at rest? The using energy from fat
What is the brain doing in the case of glucose sparing? Uses ketones built up in blood
ENDOCRINE AND NEURAL CONTROL OF TEH ABSORPTIVE AND POST ABSORPTIVE STATE ENDOCRINE AND NEURAL CONTROL
Where do secretions of the pancreas occur? Islets of Langerhans
Where does insulin get released from? Beta Cells
where does glucago get released from? Alpha cells
why is INSULIN important? controls metabolism
What does insulin do in MUSCLE? Stimulates GLUCOSE and A A update and synthesis of glycogen and protein
In adipose tissue? Insulin stimulates glucose update and synthesiss of triglycerides
In liver? There's enough glucose, so it INHIBITS gluconeogensis and glucose release and stimulates synthesis of glyucogen and triglycerides
This synthesis of triglycerols is doing what? BUILDING UP FAT!!
What happens if there sia DECREASE in plasma insulin concentration? We break down proteins in muscle, glycogen breakdown, fat breakdown, glucose breakdown, fatty acid breakdown, gluconeogensis and liver releases glucose
So, what happens in diabedies type I (Childhood diabetes?) Kids can't get insulin, so amino acids (via protein breakdown) are used as glucose
CONTROL OF INSULIN SECRETEION CONTROL OF INSULIN SECRETION
The major stimulus for insluiln secretion is???? Increase plasma glucose concentration
What does sympathetic activity stimulation lead to in regards to epinephrine release and glucose uptake? Sympathetic stimulation releases epinephrine, which inhibits glucose uptake.
What does parasympathteic activity do? Increases glucose uptake
When would parasympathetic stimulation occur regarding meals? Post or pre-absorptive? When we're eating the meal--POst absorptive state
Where is the primary location in the intestine where most absorption of both water and nutrients occurs? Small intestine
What does sympathetic stimulation come via? Via islaet of langerhans
What does insulin do? They are glucose transporter proteins that cause more glucose uptake by cell
What does glucagon, epinephrine, cortisol, and growth hormone do to the plasma concentrations of glucose, glycerol, and fatty acids? they RAISE them (because they're breaking stuff down)
Which physiological function meets this requirement? Excercise
Where does glucagon mainly act? Liver
Glucagon stimulates: Glycogenolysis, gluconeogensis, and ketone syntesis
What is the major stimulus for glucagon secretion? Hypoglycemia; fall in blood glucose level
What are two other stimuli? Amino acids and sympathetic and parasympathetic stimulation
How does epinephrine's response to hypoglycemia differ from insluin's effects? opposite
So what does it do? glycogenlolysis, gluconeogensis, and lipolysis
What happens to cortisol release with increased stress? Increased coritosl release
What does the cortisol do then? breaks down stuff (catabolic)
What does cortisol house permissive effects upon? Gluconeogensis and lipolysis.
If you have high cortisol, what happens? Stimulate gluconeogensis and blocks glucose uptake
What hormone has similar effects of cortisol? Growth Hormone
