1. Glycolysis
Slide 5
Glucose: the universal fuel for human cells Sources: diet (the major sugar in our diet) internal glycogen stores blood (glucose homeostasis) Glucose oxidation: after a meal: almost all tissues during fasting: brain, erythrocytes
Slide 6
Glycolysis: oxidation and cleavage of glucose ATP generation (with and without oxygen) all cells in the cytosol (the reducing equivalents are transferred to the electron-transport chain by the shuttle) ATP is generated: 1. via substrate-level phosphorylation 2. from NADH 3. from oxidation of pyruvate Regulation of glycolysis: 1. Hexokinase 2. Phosphofructokinase 3. Pyruvate Kinase Generation of precursors for biosynthesis: fatty acids amino acids ribosis-5-P
Slide 7
Anaerobic glycolysis a limited supply of O 2 no mitochondria increased demands for ATP Lactic acidemia in hypoxia
Slide 8
Phosphorylation of glucose: irreversible Glucose 6-P: cannot be transported back across the plasma membrane a precursor for many pathways that uses glucose Hexokinases Glucokinase (liver, -cell of the pancreas) high K m
Slide 9
Michaelis-Menten kinetics
Slide 10
1. Conversion of glucose 6-P to the triose phosphates 2. Oxidation and substrate-level phosphorylation
Slide 11
1. Conversion of glucose 6-P to the triose phosphates irreversible regulation essential for the subsequent cleavage

Substrate-level phosphorylation 2. Oxidation and substrate-level phosphorylation
Slide 13
Summary of the glycolytic pathway: Glucosis + 2 NAD + + 2 P i + 2 ADP 2 pyruvate + 2 NADH + 4 H + + 2 ATP + 2 H 2 O G 0 = - 22 kcal (it cannot be reversed without the expenditure of energy!)
Slide 14
Clinical correlations: Hypoxemia (lack of oxygen in tissues) Acute hemorrhage (hypotension, lost of erythrocytes) - anaerobic glycolysis - lactate formation, metabolic acidosis Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (an insuficient ventilation) - anaerobic glycolysis, lactate formation, metabolic acidosis - accumulation of CO 2, respiratory acidosis Myocardial infarction (lack of oxygen in myocardium) - anaerobic glycolysis, lactate formation - lack of ATP
Slide 15
Aerobic glycolysis: involving shuttles that transfer reducing equivalents across the mitochondrial membrane
Slide 16
Glycerol 3-phosphate shuttle:
Slide 17
Malate-aspartate shuttle:
Slide 18
Anaerobic glycolysis: Energy yield 2 mol of ATP dissociation and formation of H +

Daily lactate production115 (g/d) Erythrocytes29 Skin20 Brain17 Sceletal muscle16 Renal medulla15 Intestinal mucosa8 Other tissues10 Major tissues of lactate production: (in a resting state)
Slide 20
Cori cycle: Lactate can be further metabolized by: heart, sceletal muscle Lactate dehydrogenase: a tetramer (subunits M and H)
Slide 21
Lactate dehydrogenase Pyruvate + NADH + H + lactate + NAD + LD 5 isoenzymes: Heart (lactate) Muscle (pyruvate)
Slide 22
Biosynthetic functions of glycolysis:
Slide 23
Clinical correlations: Long-intensity exercise (for example a sprint) - the need for ATP exceeds the capacity of the mitochondria for oxidative phosphorylation, anaerobic glycolysis lactate formation, muscle fatigue and pain - a training the amounts of mitochondria and myoglobin increase
Slide 24
Regulation
Slide 25
Fructose 2,6-bis-phosphate: is not an intermediate of glycolysis! Phosphofructokinase-2:inhibited through phosphorylation - cAMP-dependent protein kinase (inhibition of glycolysis during fasting-glucagon) tissue-specific isoenzymes (low K m, a high afinity) glucokinase (high K m ) the rate-limiting, allosteric enzyme tissue-specific isoenzymes
Slide 26
the liver isoenzyme - inhibition by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (inhibition of glycolysis during fasting) Lactic acidemia: increased NADH/NAD + ratioinhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase
Slide 27
2. Gluconeogenesis
Slide 28
Gluconeogenesis: synthesis of glucose from noncarbohydrate precursors to maintain blood glucose levels during fasting liver, kidney fasting, prolonged exercise, a high- protein diet, stress Specific pathways: 1.Pyruvate Phosphoenolpyruvate 2.Fructose-1,6-P Fructose-6-P 3.Glucose-6-P Glucose
Conversion of pyruvate to phosphoenolpyruvate 1. Pyruvate Oxaloacetate Pyruvate carboxylase 2. Oxaloacetate PEP Phosphoenolpyruvate- carboxykinase
Slide 31
Conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate to glucose 3. Fructose-1,6-P Fructose-6-P Fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (cytosol) 4. Glucose-6-P Glucose Glucose 6-phosphatase (ER)
Slide 32
Clinical correlations: Alcoholism - excessive ethanol consumption increase NADH/NAD + ratio that drive the lactate dehydrogenase reaction toward lactate - lack of precursors for gluconeogenesis its inhibition - insuficient diet - reduced glucose in the blood, consumption of glycogen in the liver hypoglycemia
