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.
