Carbohydrate Metabolism Carbohydrate Metabolism Carbohydrate metabolism is a fundamental biochemical process that ensures a constant supply of energy to living cells. The most important carbohydrate is glucose, which can be broken down via glycolysis, enter into the Kreb's cycle and oxidative phosphorylation to generate ATP. Oxidative phosphorylation is a combination of two simultaneous processes; the electron transport chain and chemiosmotic coupling. The electron transport chain (also known as the respiratory chain) comprises 4 complexes located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. NADH and FADH2, produced from glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, release electrons at certain points in the chain, which are passed from one electron acceptor to the next. Each time an electron is passed from one complex to the next, it loses energy. Chemiosmotic coupling harnesses the energy from the electron transport chain and uses it to transport H+ across the inner mitochondrial membrane, establishing a concentration gradient. ATP synthase is found in the inner mitochondrial membrane and this enzyme uses the energy from H+ ion flux to synthesize ATP. Three ATP molecules can be made from each pair of electrons from NADH and two ATP molecules are made from a pair of electrons from FADH2. Further important pathways in carbohydrate metabolism include, pentose phosphate pathway (conversion of hexose sugars into pentoses) Glycogenesis (conversion of excess glucose into glycogen, stimulated by insulin) Glycogenolysis (conversion of glycogen polymers into glucose, stimulated by glucagon) Gluconeogenesis (de novo glucose synthesis). Amino acids and Glycerol can be used to produce glucose (liver) More glucose is produced via gluconeogenesis than glycogenolysis. Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose into pyruvic acid There are multiple diseases that arise from improper carbohydrate metabolism, Diabetes Mellitusis caused by a lack of, or a resistance to, insulin leading to hypo- or hyperglycemia. Lactose intolerance is a common allergy in adults and results from a lack of the enzyme lactase, which converts lactose disaccharides (found in dairy products) into glucose monosaccharides. Much rarer diseases such as galactosemia and von Gierke's diseases are caused by congenital mutations in enzymes involved in glucose metabolic pathways. Metabolism Anabolism: Food supplies raw materials for synthesis reactions. Synthesize: DNA and RNA. Proteins. Triglycerides. Glycogen. Catabolism: Hydrolysis (break down monomers down to CO2 and H2O): Hydrolysis reactions and cellular respiration. Gluconeogenesis. Glycogenolysis. Lipolysis. Amphibolism: Acts as link between the anabolic and catabolic pathways. (e. g) TCA Cycle Balance Between Anabolism and Catabolism The rate of deposit and withdrawal of energy substrates, and the conversion of 1 type of energy substrate into another; are regulated by hormones. Antagonistic effects of insulin, glucagon, GH, T3 and cortisol balance anabolism and catabolism. Insert fig. 19.4 How do we use food components in catabolic and anabolic pathways? Involves specific chemical reactions: - Each reaction is catalyzed by a specific enzyme. - Other compounds, besides those being directly metabolized, are required as intermediates or catalysts in metabolic reactions - adenosine triphosphate (ATP) - nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) - flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD+) - Coenzyme A ATP ATP is the energy currency of the cell The structure of ATP is similar to that of nucleic acids The energy in ATP is “carried” in the phosphate groups - to convert ADP into ATP requires energy - the energy is stored as potential energy in the phosphate group bond - removal of the third phosphate releases that energy NADH, FADH2 NAD+ can accept a hydrogen ion and become reduced to NADH: NAD+ + 2[H+] + 2e- NADH + H+ The added hydrogen ion (and electrons) can be carried to and used in other reactions in the body. FAD+ is similarly reduced to FADH2. NADH and FADH carry hydrogen ions and electrons to the enzymes in the electron transport chain of the mitochondria, allowing ATP production there. Coenzyme- A The enzyme coenzyme A converts acetyl groups (2-carbon structures) into acetyl CoA, which can then be used in metabolic reactions During the course of acetyl CoA production, energy is released and is used to convert NAD+ to NADH Cellular Respiration Generating ATP from food requires glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle and electron transport chain. Overall reaction: C6H12O6 + 6 O2----> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + 38 ATP + heat The Main point: the break down of glucose releases LOTS of energy: - about 40% in usable form (ATP) - about 60% as heat Glycolysis Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose into pyruvic acid Two main steps are involved, occurring in the cytoplasm of cells (no organelles involved). The two main steps of glycolysis Step one: glucose glucose 6-phosphate ATP ATP fructose 1,6diphosphate Step two: fructose 1,6diphosphate 2 pyruvic acid 2 NADH 2 ATP 2 ATP What happens to pyruvic acid? In aerobic respiration (oxygen present): - pyruvic acid moves from cytoplasm to mitochondria - pyruvic acid (3 carbons) is converted to acetyl group (2 carbons), producing CO2 in the process - acetyl group is converted to acetyl CoA by coenzyme A - acetyl CoA is used in the Krebs cycle. Kreb’s Cycle / TCA cycle / Citric acid cycle Acetyl CoA combines with oxaloacetic acid, forming citric acid A series of reactions then occurs resulting in: - one ATP produced - three NADH and one FADH2 produced (go to electron transport chain) - two CO2 molecules produced Electron-transport Chain The main point: NADH and FADH2 carry H+ ions to the electrontransport chain, resulting in production of ATP To do this, the H+ ions are moved along the transport chain, eventually accumulating in the outer mitochondrial compartment The H+ ions move back into the inner mitochondrial compartment via hydrogen channels, which are coupled to ATP production. At the end of the transport chain, four hydrogen ions join with two oxygen molecules to form water: 4 H+ + O2 ----> 2 H2O In the absence of oxygen, the transport chain stalls (no ATP production) Net Result of Glycolysis, Citric Acid Cycle, and Electron Transport Chain: Production of ATP (stored, potential energy for chemical reactions in the body; 40% of energy released). Production of heat (maintains body temperature; 60% of energy released). Also, production of CO2 and H2O. Storage and Utilization of Glycogen Excess glucose can be stored as glycogen. glucose glucose 6-phosphate glucose 1-phosphate glycogen Stored glycogen can be utilized, by glycogenolysis. Glycogenolysis: -glycogen is broken down into glucose 6phosphate - liver transforms glucose 6-phosphate glucose, maintaining blood glucose levels to Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic condition characterized by an inability to regulate blood glucose levels. It is caused by either defects in insulin production and secretion (Type I) or defects in insulin signaling (Type II) Type I Diabetes or insulin-dependent or juvenile diabetes It is usually due to autoimmune attack of β-islet cells in the pancreas. It can also be idiopathic and there is increasing evidence of a viral etiology. The normal function of β-islet cells is to produce insulin in response to elevated blood glucose, which in turn promotes the conversion of glucose into glycogen for storage. Destruction of βislet cells prevents insulin production and subsequently manifests as hyperglycemia. Genetic susceptibility genes for type I diabetes have been identified and include IDDM1, which codes for a MCH II complex that is displayed on the surface of β-islet cells. Certain polymorphisms of this gene result in the display of improper antigens on the surface of β-cells, leading to their targeting for destruction by T-cells. Type II Diabetes or non-insulin-dependent or obesity-related diabetes It is characterized by insulin resistance and a loss of insulin sensitivity. Insulin levels may be increased (hyperinsulinemia) or decreased (hypoinsulinemia). Other factors that contribute include decreased activity of glucose transporters, increased hepatic glucose production and delayed β-cell sensitivity to hyperglycemia. The etiology of type II diabetes is unknown, but it is associated with obesity (particularly central obesity), sedentary lifestyle, high sugar diet, total body irradiation (a cancer treatment), hypertension and increasing age. Pharmacological Interventions First line treatment for type I diabetes is insulin replacement therapy. Type II diabetes is initially treated by attempts to maintain glycemic control with diet modifications. Pharmacological interventions, such as metformin, are used later. Diabetic complications are prevalent and uncontrolled, so there is intense interest in developing pharmacological agents that allow better management of this condition. Novel antidiabetic treatments include fibroblast growth factor-21 analogs, renal sodium-glucose transporter inhibitors, free fatty acid receptor ligands, dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) inhibitors and more Blood glucose are : carbohydrate metabolism exist 1.

NADPH is a potent competitive inhibitor of the enzyme. Usually the ratio NADPH/NADP+ is high so the enzyme is inhibited. But, with increased demand for NADPH, the ratio decreases and enzyme activity is stimulated. The reactions of the non-oxidative portion of the pentose pathway are readily reversible. The concentrations of the products and reactants can shift depending on the metabolic needs of a particular cell or tissue.

Malate dehydrogenase In TCA cycle, 4 mol. of NADH (approx. equal to 2.5 ATP) and 1 mol. of FADH2 (approx. equal to 1.5 ATP) are produced / each mol. of acetylCoA catabolized in one turn of the cycle. In addition, 2 ATP is formed by substrate level phosphorylation catalyzed by succinate thiokinase. Glyoxylate Pathway The glyoxylate cycle, a variation of the TCA cycle, is an anabolic pathway occurring in plants, bacteria and fungi. In microorganisms, the glyoxylate cycle allows cells to utilize simple carbon compounds as a carbon source when complex sources such as glucose are not available. The glyoxylate cycle utilizes three of the five enzymes associated with the TCA cycle and shares many of its intermediate steps. The two cycles vary when, in the glyoxylate cycle, IsoCitrateLyase enzyme converts isocitrate into glyoxylate and succinate instead of α-ketoglutarate as seen in the TCA cycle. The glyoxylate cycle then continues on, using glyoxylate and acetylCoA to produce malate. Glyoxylate Pathway Electron transport chain Electron transport chain 4. Series of electron carriers in inner mitochondrial membrane reduced and oxidized As electrons pass through chain, exergonic reactions release energy used to form ATP Chemiosmosis Final electron acceptor is oxygen to form water Chemiosmosis Carriers act as proton pumps to expel H+ from mitochondrial matrix Creates H+ electrochemical gradient – concentration gradient and electrical gradient Gradient has potential energy – proton motive force As H+ flows back into matrix through membrane, generates ATP using ATP synthase Summary of cellular respiration Uronic acid Pathway of Glucose Importance in humans: Provides UDP-glucuronic acid for conjugation [conjugation of bilirubin, steroids etc] and synthesis of glycosaminoglycans.
