1. How glucose inters to the cell for metabolism
2. What is metabolism
4. What is glycolysis
The empiric formula for many simpler carbohydrates is (CH2O)n, where n >3.
Major function of carbohydrate
Monosaccharides= simple sugar that cannot hydrolyzed further. General formula : CnH2nOn
• Some disaccharides, which escape digestion, may enter the cells lining intestinal
lumen may be by pinocytosis; and are hydrolyzed within these cells
Sodium binding changes the conformation of the protein molecule, enabling the binding of glucose to
take place and thus the absorption to occur
2. Facilitated transport:
Fructose and mannose is absorbed by facilitated transport
Similarities Differences
• Cori studied the rate of absorption of different sugars from small intestine in rat
• The above study proves that glucose and galactose are absorbed very fast; fructose and mannose
intermediate rate and the pentoses are absorbed slowly
How Glucose inters to the cells
How glucose inters into the cell
• Since glucose is polar and hydrophilic molecule it cannot diffuse directly to the
cell
• There are a transport mechanism through which glucose get into the cells.
Transport mechanism
• In facilitated diffusion, glucose movement follows a concentration gradient (from a high glucose
concentration to a lower one.
• However, GLUT-2, which is found in the liver and kidney, can transport glucose into these cells
when blood glucose levels are high,
• It also transport glucose from the cells to the blood when blood glucose levels are low
Glucose transporters
• Glucose is the preferred source of energy for most of the body tissues.
• When the glucose metabolism is deranged, life threatening conditions may occur.
• A series of reaction catalyzed by multienzyme sequence in which the product of one reaction
become the substrate for the next reaction is called metabolic pathway
Glycolysis
The word glycolysis derived from Greek word (glykys, “sweet” or “sugar,” and lysis,
“splitting”).
Fatty acid
Coenzymes
Phases of glycolysis
• Glycolysis has 10 sequential enzymatic reaction that can be described by two major phases
1.Preparatory phase(energy investment)= 2ATP is consumed, phosphorylated intermediates are
produced.
Phase of glycolysis
2.payoff phase (energy generation)= net 2ATP produced, 2pyruvate,2NADH
Steps of glycolysis
o not a rate-limiting or
o Rate-limiting and
NB: Arsenic poison inhibit this pass way by competing with inorganic phosphate as a substrate for
glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase,
• This kinase reaction replaces the two ATP molecules consumed by preparatory
phase.
7. What are the enzymes involve in glycogenesis and glycogenolysis take place
Glycogen Metabolism
Glycogen metabolism
B/c glucose is the preferred energy source for brain and absolute source for mature
RBC.
3. gluconeogenesis
Cont.,,,,
Dietary intake of glucose in the form of complex CHO is sporadic and not
reliable source of glucose.
Due to this our body has developed mechanisms for storing a supply of glucose in
a rapidly mobilizable form called glycogen
Where do glycogen synthesis take place?
The major site for store of glycogen in the body is skeletal muscle and liver.
Muscle glycogen used to provide energy to muscle during exercise, not use for
other cells.
whereas 100g of glycogen store in liver and account 10% of liver weight.
In glycogen storage disease the amount of store is high in both muscle and liver.
Glycogen
• Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a form of
energy storage in animals, fungi, and bacteria.
Glycogen structure
Picture taken from Lippincott illustrated 4th edition. Branched structure of glycogen, showing
α(1→4) and (1→6) linkages
Where is exact glycogen storage in cell
• During early fasting liver glycogen depleted muscle glycogen depleted after
prolonged fasting, why??????
1. Glycogen synthesis
Glycogenin is a dimeric protein, the monomers glycosylating each other using UDP-glucose till
.
Step in glycogenesis cont.…
Step-1 glucose activation. G-1-P + UTP------UDP-Glucose + PPi by UDP-glucose
pyro phosphorylase
• The resulting glucose is then transported out of the ER to the cytosol by GLUT-7.
• This process used to maintain blood glucose until the gluconeogenic pathway is
actively producing glucose.
Muscle glycogenolysis
• Unlike to liver muscle glycogen muscle glycogen do not use to maintain blood
glucose
• Muscle glycogenolysis is the major energy source for muscle during strenuous
exercise
Glycogenolysis in muscle and liver
Glycogen metabolism regulation
In order to maintain blood glucose, glycogen synthesis and degradation should be tightly regulated
Glycogen synthesis in liver accelerated during well fed and degradation accelerated during fasting.
In muscle degradation accelerated during exercise and synthesis after exercise/at rest.
1.Allosteric regulation
Both glycogen synthase and glycogen phosphorylase regulated by the metabolites and energy
level of the cell
The availability of substrate like G-6-P and high energy(ATP) allosterically activate glycogen
synthase enzyme and inhibit glycogen phosphorylase
Glycogen metabolism regulation cont.…
Taken from Lippincott illustrated 4th ed. Allosteric regulation of glycogen synthesis and degradation.
2. Hormonal regulation of glycogen metabolism
Hormone like glucagon and catecholamine release during fasting bind to their
specific membrane receptor.
When they bind they activate receptor and then G-couple receptor finally cAMP
increase
During muscle contraction energy is needed as ATP for the muscle cells
Nerve impulse cause muscle membrane depolarization that cause the release of
Ca++ from muscle sarcoplasm reticulum to cytoplasm of muscle.
• Then, muscle glycogen breakdown enhanced and G-6-P for ATP released
• When muscle relax released Ca++ returned to sarcoplasmic reticulum and kinase become inactive

QUIZ
• The energy yield from one glucose residue derived from glycogen is 3 ATP
molecules, why?
