Overview of Carbohydrate Metabolism: The importance of regulating blood glucose levels. Glucose:Obligate fuel for CNS RBC’s CNS/Brain Dependent on glucose as primary source of fuel Uses ~120g glucose/day of total 160-200 g/d RBC Dependent on glucose Lack mitochondria Regulation of blood glucose levels Insulin Anabolic in response to hyperglycemia Liver Stimulates glycogen synthesis, glycolysis, and fatty acid synthesis Muscle Stimulates glycogen synthesis Adipose Stimulates lipoprotein lipase resulting in uptake of fatty acids from chylomicrons and VLDL Stimulates glycolysis for glycerol phosphate synthesis (precurser to triglycerides) Figure 9-1Role in insulin in lowering blood glucose Regulation of blood glucose levelsGlucagon Catabolic, in response to hypoglycemia Liver Activates glycogen degradation, gluconeogenesis Adipose Stimulates lipolysis and release of fatty acids Figure 9-2Role of glucagon in increasing blood glucose levels Diabetes Mellitus A multi-organ catabolic response caused by insulin insufficiency Muscle Protein catabolism for gluconeogenesis Adipose Lipolysis for fatty acid release Liver Ketogenesis from fatty acid oxidation Gluconeogenesis from amino acids and glycerol Kidney Ketonuria and cation excretion Renal ammoniagenesis (NH4+, cation excreted with KB) Glucose Toxicity Diabetic complications Glycosylation of Protein Reaction of glucose to amino groups May be related to pathologic changes in eye, peripheral nerves, kidneys Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) Polyol formation Sorbitol production from aldol reductase Accumulation of sorbitol results in osmotic changes and cataracts in the lens Chapter 9Clinical Case (p129) * *
