COMPLETE SOLUTIONS GRADED A++ LATEST UPDATE
Glycolysis
Glucose to 2 ATP and 2 pyruvate
Hexose monophosphate shunt
Glycogen to ribose 5-phosphate and CO2
Glycogenesis
Glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) to Glucose 1-phosphate (G6P) to Glycogen
Glycogenolysis
Glycogen to G1P
Gluconeogenesis
1. Lipid (Triglyceride = fatty acids + glycerol)
2. Carbohydrates (pyruvate)
3. Protein (Amino acids)
4. Lactate
--> Glucose
Insulin biosynthesis
1. B cell of pancreas produces preproinsulin (signal peptide + A, C, B chain)
2. Signal peptide allows to be inserted into endoplasmic reticulum
3. Endoplasmic reticulum cuts off signal peptide
, 4. The peptide forms a disulfide bridge between A and B chain (proinsulin)
5. Peptide is transported to Golgi apparatus, then secretory vesicle
6. Secretory vesicle hydrolyzes it to A-chain, C-chain, B-chain
7. A-chain and B-chain are attached through disulfide bridge (insulin)
8. insulin binds to zinc and crystallized in granule, C-peptide remains soluble in the
granule
Insulin secretion is stimulated by
Glucosed, amino acids, fatty acids
Insulin circulates...
Insulin exocytosis --> portal circulation --> liver --> peripheral circulation--> binds to
insulin receptor of target cells
Insulin stimulates..
1. Glucose uptake
2. Glycolysis
3. Glycogenesis
4. Triglyceride synthesis
5. Protein synthesis
6. Na (out) /K (in) ATPase
Insulin inhibits...
1. Glycogenolysis
2. Gluconeogensis
3. Lipolysis
4. B-oxidation of fatty acids
