    Study Notes

    Lipogenesis

    • The primary product of lipogenesis is triglycerides.

    Electron Transport Chain

    • The Electron Transport Chain occurs in the mitochondrial inner membrane.

    Gluconeogenesis

    • The purpose of gluconeogenesis is to generate glucose from non-carbohydrate sources, such as amino acids and lactate, to maintain blood sugar levels during fasting or starvation.

    Glycogenolysis

    • The main function of glycogenolysis is to break down glycogen into glucose in response to hormonal signals, such as glucagon and epinephrine, to increase blood sugar levels.

    Glycogenesis

    • Leftover glucose in glycogenesis is stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles for later use.
