Regulation of Metabolism
Lecture 28-Kumar
• How does the body know when to
increase metabolism? Slow metabolism?
Requires communication
• What might be some indicators of
energy status within the cell?
Works through allosteric
regulation of enzyme activity
Mechanisms of Cellular Communication
Figure 6-1 - Overview
What Hormones Regulate Metabolism?
• Insulin
• Glucagon
• Thyroid hormone
• Cortisol
• Epinephrine
Most regulation occurs in order to maintain stable
blood glucose concentrations for supplying fuel to
the brain!
Protein or peptide hormone
Almost always proteins called kinases
Activation/inactivation of an enzyme;
opening/closing a membrane channel;
activating a transcription factor

Anabolic hormone

 Glycogen synth.
 Lipogenesis
 Protein synth.

hormone
Mechanism of Insulin Action
Principal Actions of Insulin
1. Rapid (seconds)
Increased transport of glucose, amino acids, and K+
into insulin-sensitive cells
2. Intermediate (minutes)
Stimulation of protein synthesis
Inhibition of protein degradation
Activation of glycogen synthetase and glycolytic
enzymes
Inhibition of phosphorylase and gluconeogenic enzymes
3. Delayed (hours)
Increase in mRNAs for lipogenic and other enzymes, cfos
Major Effects of Insulin
• Skeletal muscle takes up glucose from blood
• Liver takes up glucose, increases glycogen production
• Liver increases fatty acid synthesis when its glycogen
stores are full
• Adipose takes up blood glucose and fatty acid
breakdown is inhibited
Overall insulin has a fat sparing action. It works to
store excess energy
Mechanism of action for glucagon
Glucagon from a cells of pancreas

Effects of Glucagon and Insulin on Glucose Metabolism
PFK-2
PFK2/FBPase2 homodimer
The allosteric regulator
fructose-2,6-bisphosphate
is synthesized & degraded
by a bi-functional enzyme
that includes 2 catalytic
domains:
PDB
2BIF
PFK-2
domain
FBPase-2
domain
with bound
fructose-6-P
in active site
Phosphofructokinase-2 (PFK2) domain catalyzes:
Fructose-6-phosphate + ATP  fructose-2,6-bisphosphate + ADP
Fructose-Biophosphatase-2 (FBPase2) domain catalyzes:
Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate + H2O  fructose-6-phosphate + Pi
Bifunctional PFK2/FBPase2 assembles into a
homodimer.
Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate
Cortisol: slow catabolic effects; response to long-term
stress
increases protein breakdown in muscles and fat
breakdown in adipose tissue, elevating amino acids and
fatty acids in blood.
increases glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis in liver;
elevates blood glucose
synergistic effect for actions of glucagon and epinephrine
in elevating blood glucose
anti-inflammatory: inhibits cytokine activation of immune
system
Long-term excessive cortisol levels can cause severe
muscle breakdown, lipolysis, and hyperglycemia.
Hypersecretion may be from a tumor (Cushing's disease)
or excess ACTH.
Test Your Knowledge
• The major hormones that promote glucose release into the blood
are:
• The major hormones that promote storage of glucose are:
• A hepatic cell has receptors for epinephrine, glucagon, and
insulin. These hormones may or may not act in concert to
produce a desired effect. How does the hepatocyte know what
to do?
• What are the major second messenger systems used by the
hormones that regulate blood glucose? What is the end result
of activation of these second messenger systems?
