Glucagon acts on the _____ (primarily) and adipose tissue
#2
Thyroid hormone increases the processes of _____, gluconeogenesis, proteolysis, and lipolysis, all of which may provide sources of ATP
#3
_____ reactions are chemical reactions that form intermediates of a metabolic pathway.
#4
In a person starving for more than 18 hours, the source of energy is _____.
#5
Effect of diabetes on hepatic glycolysis: no answer _____
- No PFK-2 due to lack of insulin
- No glucose trapping in liver leads to elevated blood glucose (hyperglycemia)
#6
_____ deficiency causes a buildup of pyruvate that gets shunted to lactate (via LDH) and alanine (via ALT)
#7
Increased NADH/NAD+ (e.g. due to ethanol) causes increased conversion of _____ -> malate, thus preventing gluconeogenesis
#8
Glucagon causes _____ fatty acid synthesis and increased lipolysis, which shunts substrates towards gluconeogenesis
