Lecture 15
Maintaining blood Glc levels Glucose is the energy source for many tissues Need to keep blood glucose level constant Not taking in Glc Blood glucose falls How to put Glc into blood?
Carbon sources for Gluconeogeneis: Cori cycle
Carbon sources for Gluconeogeneis
Gluconeogenesis Reverse of glycolysis What step/s have to be different?
Cellular compartments Where does Glycolysis occur? Where does TCA occur?
Compartmentalization
1: How to make PEP? Cannot directly convert Pyruvate to PEP So, make Oxaloacetate
1: How to make PEP? Metabolite compartmentalization must be overcome
1: How to make PEP?
2: If you don’t like it!
Remember Fru 2,6-bis-PO 4 ?
3. If you really don’t like it!
Reversing Glycolysis
Avoiding “futile” cycles
Signaling cascade recap LIVER Example 2: Phosphofructokinase 2 Pancreas Low Glc ? ? Fru 2,6 bis-PO 4 Adenylate cyclase ? PKA ? ? PFK1; ? FBPase1 ? GLYCOLYSIS ? GLUCONEOGENESIS
