Carbohydrate Metabolism — Flashcards

In diabetes patients, _____ damage may occur when glucose in tissue is converted to sorbitol by the enzyme aldose reductase

_____ may be converted to fructose-6-phosphate via the enzyme fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase

The enzyme _____ catalyzes the formation of -(1,4) bonds between glucose molecules

Glycogen phosphorylase is regulated via negative feedback by _____, insulin, and glucose-6-phosphate

Glucose is converted to _____ by the enzyme glucokinase in the liver and cells of the pancreas

Galactose-1-phosphate is ultimately converted to _____ via the enzyme Gal 1-P uridyltransferase

Increased insulin (fed) leads to decreased cAMP and protein kinase A, thus _____ activity of FBPase-2 and increasing activity of PFK-2

Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase is regulated via positive feedback by _____ and ATP

Tauri's disease presents similar to McArdle's with additional _____ and growth retardation

Glycogen phosphorylase is regulated by positive feedback by _____ via the beta receptor (liver only)
