Starvation Adaptation — Flashcards

8 flashcards

Thyroid hormone increases the processes of _____, gluconeogenesis, proteolysis, and lipolysis, all of which may provide sources of ATP

Increased glucagon (fasting) leads to increased cAMP and protein kinase A, thus _____ activity of FBPase-2 and decreasing activity of PFK-2

Increased NADH/NAD+ (e.g. due to ethanol) causes increased conversion of _____ -> malate, thus preventing gluconeogenesis

Glucagon causes _____ fatty acid synthesis and increased lipolysis, which shunts substrates towards gluconeogenesis

During fasting and starvation, the priority is to supply sufficient glucose to the _____ and RBCs while preserving protein

Effect of diabetes on hepatic glycolysis: no answer _____ - No PFK-2 due to lack of insulin - No glucose trapping in liver leads to elevated blood glucose (hyperglycemia)

Glucagon acts on the _____ (primarily) and adipose tissue

_____ deficiency causes a buildup of pyruvate that gets shunted to lactate (via LDH) and alanine (via ALT)
