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)
