UNIT TWO Tuesday, August 27, 2024 7:10 PM 2A Metabolis… 2A: METABOLISM Metabolism: sum of all chemical reactions in the body ○ Catabolism: breakdown § exergonic: releases energy ○ Anabolism: building § Endergonic: consumes energy Interrelationship of energy ○ 1st law of thermodynamics: conservation of energy § Energy cannot be created or destroyed § What we eat directly influences what we make Metabolic rate: how much energy their bodies using ○ Slows down with age Anabolic steroid: builds muscle We eat simple molecules we will undergo anabolic reactions to store them as complex molecules ○ Glucose --> glycogen ○ Amino acids --> proteins ○ Glycerol & Fatty acids --> triglycerides Catabolic reactions to break our stored energy into a simpler from to make ATP 2 M 2B: Metabolism of FATS 2B - Metabolis… Lipids ○ Triglycerides = glycerol + 3 fatty acids: How we store fat in our body § Storage form of fats § Monoglyceride = glycerol + 1 fatty acid ○ Phospholipids: membranes ○ Steroids: lipids that contain rings of carbon, normally make up steroid hormones ○ Fatty acids ○ Fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) ○ Lipoproteins § Four classes of Lipoproteins □ Chylomicrons: transport lipids to adipose tissue □ Very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs): transport triglycerides from hepatocytes ® Considered bad for the cardiovascular system ® Bring fats to our liver and adipose tissue or the cells ® KEEP FAT IN OUR BODY ® We want less of these □ Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs): carry about 75% of the total cholesterol in bloo ® Considered bad for the cardiovascular system ® Bring fats to our liver and adipose tissue or the cells ® KEEP FAT IN OUR BODY ® We want less of these Glycerol backbone to adipocytes Fatty acids tails od and deliver it to cells Energy stores for an individual with a typical diet 1 kcal worth of energy is readily available, used up quickly 4 kcal of phosphocreatine ready to be tapped into, used up quickly The majority of our energy is coming from other sources like carbs, fats, and proteins ○ Store most energy in fats, then protein, then carbs ○ Carbs will run out 2C: Metabolism of protein Metabolism - Proteins Essential and Nonessential amino acids (AA) in humans ○ Essential: You have to consume, cannot make these § Arginine § Histidine § Isoleucine § Leucine § Lysine § Methionine § Phenylalanine § Threonine § Tryptophan § Valine ○ Non-essential: body makes these, it is not essential to be eaten § Alanine § Asparagine § Aspartate § Cysteine § Glutamate § Glutamine STORAGE? Glycogen: skeletal muscle liver Fat: triglyceride, adipose tissue Proteins: not stored n 2D: Inte Metabo -… Fa erconversion of macronutrients olism asted or Fed? ○ Fasted (hungry) = post-absorptive state § Haven't eaten all day, relying on stored energy § CATABOLIC STATE ○ Fed (full) = absorptive state § Just eaten, body is actively absorbing the nutrients from the last meal § ANABOLIC Interrelationship of energy ○ 1st law of thermodynamics: conservation of energy § Energy cannot be created or destroyed § What we eat directly influences what we make § ATP is like cash, lots of tissues in our body use atp, It can be spent most anywhere Energy Transfer ○ Oxidation: involves the removal of electrons from an atom or molecule § EX: conversion of lactic acid to pyruvic acid ○ Reduction: involves the addition of electrons to a molecule § EX: conversion of pyruvic acid to lactic acid ○ Oxidation and reduction are always coupled so the two reactions together are called oxidation-reduction or redox reactions § If something is reduced, something else is oxidized § The oxidation of lactic acid to pyruvic acid and the associated reduction of NAD+ may be written as: Macronutrients ○ Carbohydrate § Glycolysis: glucose breakdown to produce ATP □ Can occur with or without oxygen § Gluconeogenesis: formation of glucose from lipid or protein (non-glucose precursor) § Glycogenolysis: breakdown of glycogen into glucose § Glycogenesis: synthesis of glycogen from glucose □ Savings account Triglycerid § Monosaccharides and disaccharides are simple sugars □ Glucose □ Fructose □ Galactose □ Sucrose = glucose + fructose □ Lactose = glucose + galactose □ Maltose = glucose + glucose § Polysaccharides □ Glycogen glycogenolysis gluconeogenesis glycolysis de hydrolysis glycogenesis Beta oxidation ® We want less of these □ Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs): carry about 75% of the total cholesterol in bloo ® Considered bad for the cardiovascular system ® Bring fats to our liver and adipose tissue or the cells ® KEEP FAT IN OUR BODY ® We want less of these □ High-density lipoproteins (HDLs): remove excess cholesterol from body cells and transport it to the liver for elimination ® Help body to eliminate fat by lowering levels of circulating fat in the blood ® We want a lot of HDLs Lipid metabolism ○ Because most lipids are nonx (hydrophobic), they do NOT dissolve in water, require transpor blood (lipoproteins) ○ Because blood plasma is over 90% water, lipids must be transported combine w proteins pro intestines § There are lipoproteins ○ Lipids may be oxidized to produce ATP § Can ONLY be broken down when oxygen is present, COMPLETELY AEROBIC PROCESS (m enough oxygen) § If the body does not need lipids at any given time, they get stored in adipose tissue § Some are used as structural molecules or to synthesize other essential substances ○ Fates of fats § Lipid catabolism (Lipolysis): the process of splitting triglycerides into fatty acids and gly □ Step 1: triglyceride hydrolysis □ Step 2: beta oxidation (turning fatty acids into acetyl CoA) □ CHARACTERISTICS ® SLOW RATE (extremely) of ATP production ® HIGH YEILD of ATP production (~400 ATP) ® OXYGEN DEPENDENT (extremely) □ Regulation: High amounts of acetyl CoA or NADH + H+ inhibit / Decrease the rate ® Bc beta oxidation would only supply you with more acetyl coA or beta oxid ® Body needs to slow down and process the nutrients it already has § Lipid anabolism (lipogenesis): the process of synthesizing lipids from glucose or amino □ Occurs when individuals consume more calories than needed □ Forming lipids and triglycerides from glucose or amino acids □ When does it occur? Lipid anabolism occurs when the body has an excess of ene periods of calorie surplus, such as after consuming a carbohydrate-rich meal, lea fatty acids and triglycerides for storage. □ What hormone stimulates lipogenesis? ® Insulin: decreases blood sugar and increases the arrival of glucose to the c fatty acids out of the blood to make triglycerides □ What did that hormone do during glucose metabolism? ○ Ketone bodies § Result of lipid catabolism od and deliver it to cells d the blood and Lipolysis Length of FA tails vary, depends d on amount of carbon in chain Step 1: splitting glycerol and FA tails apart rter proteins to travel in ○ Glycerol goes to gluconeogenesis oduced by the liver and must be bringing in ycerol e of beta oxidation dation o acids ergy, typically during 1.
