Question
Answer
what is a ketoacid   what is left when the amino group is removed from an amino acid  
🗑
alanine goes to what   pyruvate  
🗑
glutamine goes to glutamate which goes to   alpha-ketogluterate  
🗑
asparagine goes to asparatate which goes to   oxaloacetate  
🗑
to make alpha ketoacid knockoff _____ and put on ____   NH3, O  
🗑
what are the 2 ketogenic amino acids that cannot turn into glucose   leucine and lysine  
🗑
what are the 6 amino acids that can be oxidized by muscle   1)leucine 2)isoleucine 3)valine 4)glutamate 5)aspartate 6)asparagine  
🗑
what amino acid has the greatest intracellular/extracellular ratio in muscle   glutamate >50 to 1  
🗑
what is anaplerosis   adding to the pathway  
🗑
what is cataplerosis   taking from the pathway  
🗑
what amino acid has the worst intracellular/extracellular ratio in muscle   alanine 6-10 to 1  
🗑
what imports glutamate into the muscle   liver, digestive system, immune system  
🗑
what does the muscle export to the liver, digestive system, immune system   nitrogen  
🗑
what enzyme is used to add nitrogen to glutamate to make it glutamine   glutamine synthetase  
🗑
glutamine goes to cells needing nitrogen like   gut and immune cells  
🗑
what enzyme converts glutamine into glutamate   glutaminase  
🗑
what enzymes are released most from the muscle   glutamine and alanine  
🗑
what happens to the glutamate and alanine concentrations during low intensity exercise   -20% decrease in glutamate concentrations -no change in alanine concentration  
🗑
what happens to muscle glutamate and alanine concentrations during moderate intensity exercise   -40% decrease in glutamate concentration during 1st minute -60% increase in alanine concentration  
🗑
what are the plasma trends with exercise   -glutamate CONCENTRATION decrease -alanine CONCENTRATION increases  
🗑
how does nitrogen remove amino groups   -transamination -oxidative deamination  
🗑
most amino acids transfer their alpha-amino group to   alpha-ketoglutarate  
🗑
what does transamination result in   glutamate and an alpha-keto acid  
🗑
the main way nitrogen leaves the muscle is as   -glutamine -alanine  
🗑
what are the entry points to the urea cycle in the liver   1)glutamate dehydrogenase 2)aspartate amino transferase/glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase  
🗑
what does glutamate dehydrogenase do   deaminates glutamate  
🗑
what does aspartate amino transferase do   transfers amino groups from glutamate to oxaloacetate, forms aspartate  
🗑
what are the unique abilities of the liver   1)urea cycle -liver has ability to deal with ammonia 2)gluconeogenesis -turn alpha-ketoacids into glucose  
🗑
what are the 4 amino acids in the urea cycle   1)citrulline 2)argininosuccinate 3)arginine 4)ornithine  
🗑
when a branch chain amino acid is oxidized in muscle it must get rid of   the nitrogen  
🗑
alpha ketogluterate takes the nitrogen and   becomes glutamate  
🗑
glutamate gets rid of the nitrogen and gives it to   pyruvate  
🗑
pyruvate becomes   alanine  
🗑
alanine leaves the muscle and   goes to the liver (glucose-alanine cycle)  
🗑
alanine and other excess AA go to   the liver  
🗑
alanine and other excess AA must get rid of   the nitrogen  
🗑
alanine and other amino acids turn into   alpha-ketoacids which turn into: glucose, fat, CO2, and ATP  
🗑
glutamate has what 2 choices as to how it gets rid of the nitrogen   1)glutamate dehydrogenase 2)aspartate aminotransferase  
🗑
glutamate dehydrogenase makes the NH3 join with CO2 to make what   carbamoyl phosphate  
🗑
carbamoyl phosphate enters what cycle   urea cycle  
🗑
aspartate aminotransferase transfers nitrogen from   glutamate to oxaloacetate  
🗑
oxaloacetate turns into   aspartate  
🗑
aspartate enters the   urea cycle  
🗑
2 amino acids that are NOT glucogenic   1)leucine 2)lysine  
🗑
main anaplerotic amino acid to the TCA:   glutamate  
🗑
3 AA that donate nitrogen for purines and pyrimidines   1)glutamine 2)aspartate 3)glycine  
🗑
ALT alanine amino transferase   alanine+alpha-ketoglutarate <--> pyruvate+glutamate  
🗑
AST aspartate amino transferase   oxaloacetate+glutamate <--> aspartate+alpha-ketoglutarate  
🗑
