Study Notes

Carbohydrate Metabolism

  • Glycogen synthesis (conversion of lactic acid into glucose) takes place in the liver and muscles.

Gluconeogenetic Organs

  • Liver and kidneys are gluconeogenetic organs that produce lactic acid.

Glycome Study

  • Glycomics is the comprehensive study of glycomes that includes genetic, physiological, and pathological aspects.

Biological Information Encoding

  • Polysaccharide chains encode biological information based on their constituent sugars, sequences, and linkages.

Medical Conditions and Carbohydrate Metabolism

  • Medical conditions that indicate the need to investigate carbohydrate metabolism include diabetes, hypoglycemia, and hyperglycemia.

Enzyme Deficiencies

  • Aldolase deficiency is NOT associated with diseases related to carbohydrate metabolism.

Blood Glucose Determination

  • Fasting for at least 8 hours is necessary for determining fasting/basal blood glucose.

Blood Glucose Measurement Methods

  • The text does not mention the radioisotopic method for determining blood glucose.

Hyperglycemia

  • Hyperglycemia is NOT observed in starvation (fasting) according to the text.

Glycogen Synthesis and Blood Glucose Regulation

  • Glycogen synthesis refers to the conversion of glucose into glycogen to regulate blood glucose levels.

Hypoglycemia

  • Insulin overdose can lead to hypoglycemia.

Glucose Oxidase Function

  • The primary function of glucose oxidase is to catalyze the oxidation of glucose to gluconic acid.

Ketonuria

  • Ketonuria is commonly found in diabetic ketoacidosis, starvation, and high-fat diets.

Ketone Body Synthesis

  • Acetyl-coenzyme A plays a crucial role in ketone body synthesis.

Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT)

  • The OGTT is indicated in suspected cases of diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance.

Insulin Deficiency and Diabetes

  • Diabetic ketoacidosis can be a consequence of insulin deficiency in diabetes.

Peptide C Significance

  • Peptide C is a marker of insulin secretion and is used to diagnose insulinoma.

Physiological State and Carbohydrate Intake

  • The fasting state is associated with a decrease in carbohydrate intake.
