Question | Answer |
Glycogenolysis | Liver process: breaks down liver glycogen, releases glucose into blood Highly responsive to exercise |
Gluconeogenesis | Liver process: converts metabolic byproducts into glucose and releases into blood |
Lipolysis | TAG breakdown Sensitive to insulin |
C | 1. Blood glucose 2. Muscle glycogen |
Fat fuel sources | 1. Plasma fatty acid 2. Intramuscular triglycerides |
Rate of energy transfer: CHO vs. protein | CHO is 2x faster than protein |
Simple lipids | Insoluble Hydrophobic e.g. triglycerides |
Saturated fatty acid | No double bonds e.g. animal fat |
Unsaturated fatty acid | One or more double bonds e.g. oils |
Compound lipid | Lipid + another molecule e.g. phospholipid, glycolipid, lipoprotein |
Lipoprotein types | Chylomicrons HDL LDL VLDL |
Chylomicron | packaged triglycerides from diet |
High Density Lipoproteins | “good cholesterol” ~50% is protein |
Low Density Lipoprotein | “bad cholesterol” ~25% is protein |
Very Low Density Lipoprotein | mostly triglyceride inside made in the liver |
Anabolism | Tissue building |
Catabolism | Tissue breakdown |
Proteins | Long chains of amino acids |
Alanine-glucose cycle | (insert image) |
