Study Notes
Fuel Use By Tissues
- Glucose is the preferred fuel for the brain and most tissues, with the exception of the heart and skeletal muscle which can utilize other fuels.
- Fatty acids are the preferred fuel for the heart and skeletal muscle.
- Ketones are an alternative fuel source that the brain can use when glucose availability is low.
- Lactate is a product of anaerobic metabolism, and can be used as an energy source.
Glucose Metabolism
- Dietary carbohydrates are absorbed into the bloodstream and are either stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles or used for energy.
- When blood glucose is low, glycogen is broken down to provide glucose for use by the body.
- Excess glucose is stored in the liver as glycogen, and the excess glucose is excreted through urine.
Fat Metabolism
- Dietary fats are broken down into free fatty acids and glycerol.
- Free fatty acids can be used for energy production or reassembled into triglycerides for storage in adipose cells.
- Cholesterol is used for synthesis of bile salts, steroid hormones, and cell membranes.
- Cholesterol is recycled into bile salts in the liver.
- Chylomicrons are carriers of dietary fat, and are broken down into free fatty acids and glycerol by lipoprotein lipase.
- Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) delivers cholesterol to cells.
- High-density lipoprotein (HDL) removes excess cholesterol from cells.
Fasted State Metabolism
- Fasted state metabolism prioritizes maintaining blood glucose for the brain.
- The liver breaks down glycogen to provide glucose.
- Most cells can utilize fatty acids or ketones for energy in the fasted state.
