14 important questions on NP10a Carb and amin oacid metabolism, ketogenesis
Fructose vs glucose oxidation
- For both you use 2 ATP
- Both make DHAP + GA3P
Difference
- phosphofructokinase is not used in the fructose oxidation
The rate of glycolysis is controlled at the level of the conversion of fructose 6-P to fructose 1,6 diP. What is relevant?
- ATP inhibits, citric acid stimulates
- ATP and citric acid stimulate
- AMP stimulates, citric acid inhibits
Which of these pathways produce/consume glucose?
- glycolysis
- glycogenesis
- glycogenolysis
- gluconeogensis
- glycolysis - consuming
- glycogenesis - consuming
- glycogenolysis - producing
- gluconeogensis - producing
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice

For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What is true? Muscle can get most energy from:
- Its own glycogen
- Glycogen from liver
- Glycogen from the food
make a ranking in case of differences
calculate each of the options to G-6-P as enetry into glycolysis
- Its own glycogen --> you do not need ATP
- 0
- Glycogen from liver
- Glu -> G-6-P : - 1 ATP
- Glycogen from the food
- Glu -> G-6-P : - 1 ATP
Ketogenic amino acids are
- Nomenclature suggests also link to ketone bodies
- Pure ketogenic: Leucine and Lysine: Acetyl-CoA
- Glucogenic & ketogenic:
- Phenylalanine, Tryptophan, Isoleucine, Tyrosine
- Acetyl-CoA
- Acetoacetate (beton body)
- this Acetoacetate will not be taken into account for exam when amino acid oxidation is questioned!
What is Hepatic Ketogenesis
- brain relies on glucose, when glucose drops due to VLCD or fasting: ketones are needed for other organs as glucose is spared for brain
Ketogenesis only in liver
- 2 Acetyl-CoA --> Acetoacetate
- acetoacetate + 1 NADH --> beta-hydroxybutyrate
What is the usage of keton bodies?
- Mainly muscle and heart
- but also brain during starvation
- Reversal of ketogenesis, leading to Acetyl-CoA production
- Pivotal enzyme acetoacetate succintul-CoA transferase îs lacking in liver cells [securing hepatic ketogenesis, not hepatic usage]
The utilisation of ketone bodies in extra-hepatic tissues ->
NADH = 2.5 ATP
Makes 2 acetyl CoA
- Mention the 3 ketone bodies that can occur in the body
- Why are they formed?
- What is their common precursor?
- Do they provide the same ATP/mol
- If not, give a ranking
- Under which conditions will ketone acidosis arise?
- Acetoacetate, Aceton, Beta-hydroxybutyrate
- To help organs to survive (when there is not enough glucose)
- Acetyl CoA
- No (aceton = 0) and...
Dietary energy
- Is all dietary energy convertible to body fat?
- If so, is there energetic efficiency of this conversion to fat the same for fat, carbohydrates and protein from the diet?
- If not, make a ranking and explain the differences
- Is all dietary energy convertible to body fat?
- No
- If so, is there energetic efficiency of this conversion to fat the same for fat, carbohydrates and protein from the diet?
- From protein >glucose > lipid
- If not, make a ranking and explain the differences
- protein 33% heat increment, glucose 18% lipid 4%
Limiting amino acids
- Is every essential amino acid limiting?
- Is a limiting amino acid always an essential amino acid?
- Is every essential amino acid limiting?
- No, this depends on the dietary intake
- Is a limiting amino acid always an essential amino acid?
- Yes. Non-essentials are never limiting, as they can be synthesized
What could be meant by so-called protein and non-protein amino acids?
- Try to give an example (urea cycle)
- Citrulline, ornithine: amino acids not used for protein synthesis
N-content
- Which amino acid has the highest N-content?
- What is the percental level of N?
- Does this agree with the average level in protein?
- To which metabolic process is this amino acid related?
- Which amino acid has the highest N-content?
- Arginine (Arg): 4 N
- What is the percental level of N?
- mean 17%
- Does this agree with the average level in protein?
- no
- To which metabolic process is this amino acid related?
- urea cycle
- What is the level of free amino acids in the circulation?
- Why is this level so low compared to daily intake?
- What happens after a meal?
- What is the level of free amino acids in the circulation?
- It is toxic
- ±1124-4075 mumol/l = 1-4 mmol/l (=0.1-0.5 gram/l)
- Why is this level so low compared to daily intake?
- High = toxic (osmotic value)
- E.g. phenylalanine -> phenylketon -> retardation
- What happens after a meal?
- Proteins are degraded into amino acids which are taken up into tissues for 'storage' or new proteins. Faecal loss and urine loss for N balance
