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.
