Thyroid hormone increases the processes of _____, gluconeogenesis, proteolysis, and lipolysis, all of which may provide sources of ATP
#2
Increased glucagon (fasting) leads to increased cAMP and protein kinase A, thus _____ activity of FBPase-2 and decreasing activity of PFK-2
#3
Increased NADH/NAD+ (e.g. due to ethanol) causes increased conversion of _____ -> malate, thus preventing gluconeogenesis
#4
Glucagon causes _____ fatty acid synthesis and increased lipolysis, which shunts substrates towards gluconeogenesis
#5
During fasting and starvation, the priority is to supply sufficient glucose to the _____ and RBCs while preserving protein
#6
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)
#7
Glucagon acts on the _____ (primarily) and adipose tissue
#8
_____ deficiency causes a buildup of pyruvate that gets shunted to lactate (via LDH) and alanine (via ALT)
