Metabolic interrelationship Chapter 6: Integration, Specialization, and Regulation of Metabolism At this point, we’ll consider how organisms arrange/organize the metabolic symphony to meet their energy needs. Discussion will include how: Body maintains energy balance (homeostasis) It deals with starvation It responds to the loss of control from diabetes mellitus Table 24-2, p.666 Food pyramid Fig. 24-2, p.668 Obesity -Define as weighing at least 20% more than their ideal weight - several inventions: artificial sweeteners, fat substitutes - protein leptin plays a role in the control of obesity - Has been established in mice - in mice, leptin is 16kDa protein that produced by obesity (ob) gene - mutation in this gene will lead to deficiency of leptin Review of metabolism Glycolysis Gluconeogene sis The pentose phosphate pathway Β oxidation and fatty acids synthesis Amino acids degradation and synthesis The citric acid cycle Oxidative phosphorylati on Glucose-6phosphate Pyruvate Acetyl-CoA Oxaloacetate Intermediates that connect pathways Brain Muscle Liver The fate of G6P varies with metabolic requirements – depends on the glucose demand G6P can be converted to glucose by glucose-6phosphatase (transport via bloodstream to the peripheral organs) G6P can be converted to glycogen – when body’s demand for glucose is low G6P can be converted to acetyl-CoA via glycolysis and action of pyruvate dehydrogenase (this glucosederived acetyl-CoA used in the synthesis of f.acids) G6P can be degraded via pentose phosphate pathway (to generate NADPH required for f.acids biosynthesis and liver’s many other biosynthetic functions) The liver can synthesize or degrade TAGs When metabolic fuel is needed, f.acids are degraded to acetyl-CoA and then to ketone bodies (export via bloodstream to the peripheral tissues) When the demand is low, f.acids are used to synthesize TAGs (secreted into the bloodstream as VLDL for uptake by adipose tissue) Amino acids are important metabolic fuel The liver degrades amino acids to a variety of intermediates (begin with a.acid transamination to yield α-keto acid, via urea cycle excreted urea) Glucogenic a.acid – converted to pyruvate / OAA (TCA cycle intermediates) Ketogenic a.acid – converted to ketone bodies Kidney Functions : to filter out the waste product urea from the bloodstream : to concentrate it for excretion : to recover important metabolites (glucose) : to maintain the blood pH Overall reaction in kidney: Glutamine → α-ketoglutarate + NH4+ During starvation, the α-ketoglutarate enters gluconeogenesis (kidneys generate as much as 50% of the body’s glucose supply) α-ketoglutarate : converted to malate (TCA cycle) : pyruvate (oxidized to CO2) or via OAA to PEP : converted to glucose via gluconeogenesis Hormones reacts as the intercellular messengers Hormones transported from the sites of their synthesis to the sites of action by the bloodstream Fig. 24-5, p.671 Some typical hormones: - steroids (estrogens, androgens) - polypeptides (insulin and endorphins) - a.acid derivatives (epinephrine and norepinephrine) Hormones help maintaining homeostasis (the balance of biological activities Table 24-3, p.672 Control system mechanism Hormone releasing factor Fig. 24-7, p.673 Fig. 24-8, p.674 Second messenger e.g cyclic AMP (cAMP) p.676 Fig. 24-9a, p.675 Fig. 24-9b, p.675 The effects of hormones triggered the responses within the cell There are three hormones play a part in the regulation of CHO metabolism Epinephrine, insulin and glucagon Epinephrine: acts on muscle tissue, to raise level of glucose on demand, when it binds to specific receptors, it leads to increased level of glucose in blood, increased glycolysis in muscle cells and increased breakdown of f.acid for energy p.681 Fig. 24-14, p.682 Glucagon: acts on liver, to increase the availability of glucose, when it binds to specific receptors, it leads to increased level of glucose in blood. Table 24-4, p.685 During prolonged starvation or fasting, the brain slowly adapts from the use of glucose as its soul fuel source to the use of ketone bodies, shift the metabolic burden form protein breakdown to fat breakdown Diabetes mellitus is a disease in which insulin either not secreted or doesn’t stimulate its target tissues → high [glucose] in the blood and urine. Abnormally high production of ketone bodies is one of the most dangerous effects of uncontrolled diabetes Dieting – to lose excess weight. Diet forced the body to follow the same adjustment like starvation or fasting but a more moderate or controllable pace. Dieting is not free of problems, therefore it is advisable to undergo diet under supervision of physician or nutritionist.
