Metabolism consists of highly interconnected pathways
1. ATP is the universal currency of energy.
2. ATP is generated by the oxidation of fuel molecules
such as glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids.
3. NADPH is the major electron donor in reductive biosyntheses.
4. Biomolecules are constructed from a small set of building blocks.
5. Biosynthetic and degradative pathways are almost always distinct.

Recurring motifs are common in metabolic regulation
1. Allosteric interactions.Allosteric regulation of phosphofructokinase.
A high level of ATP inhibits the enzyme by decreasing its affinity for fructose6-phosphate. AMP diminishes and citrate enhances the inhibitory effect of ATP.

Recurring motifs are common in metabolic regulation
1. Allosteric interactions. Regulation of phosphofructokinase by fructose
2,6-bisphosphate (F-2,6-BP). In high concentrations, fructose 6-phosphate
(F-6P) activates the enzyme phosphofructokinase (PFK) through an
intermediary, fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (F-2,6-BP).

Recurring motifs are common in metabolic regulation
1. Allosteric interactions.Activation of phosphofructokinase by fructose
2,6-bisphosphate (F-2,6-BP). (A) The sigmoidal dependence of velocity on substrate
concentration becomes hyperbolic in the presence of 1 mM fructose 2,6-bisphosphate.
(B) ATP, acting as a substrate, initially stimulates the reaction. As the concentration of
ATP increases, it acts as an allosteric inhibitor. The inhibitory effect of ATP isreversed by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate.

3. Adjustment of enzyme levels. In the protein degradation pathway mediated
by ubiquitin-proteasome, energy from ATP is used to tag an unwanted protein
with a chain of ubiquitins marking it for destruction. The protein is then
hydrolyzed into small peptides by the proteasome.

Major metabolic pathways have specific control sites
1. Glycolysis.Regulation of glycolysis in muscle.At rest (left), glycolysis is not very active
(thin arrows). The high concentration of ATP inhibits phosphofructokinase (PFK), pyruvate kinase,
and hexokinase. Glucose 6-phosphate is converted into glycogen. During exercise (right), the
decrease in the ATP/AMP ratio resulting from muscle contraction activates PFK and hence glycolysis.The flux down the pathway is increased, as represented by the thick arrows.

Reciprocal regulation of gluconeogenesis and glycolysis in the liver. The
level of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate is high in the fed state and low in starvation. Anotherimportant control is the inhibition of pyruvate kinase by phosphorylation during starvation.

Pathway integration: Cooperation between glycolysis and gluconeogenesis during a sprint.In skeletal leg muscle, glucose will be metabolized aerobically to CO2 and H20 or, more likely (thick arrows) during a
sprint, anaerobically to lactate. In cardiac muscle, the lactate can be converted into pyruvate and used as a fuel,
along with glucose, to power the sprint. Gluconeogenesis, a primary function of the liver, will be taking place rapidly
(thick arrows) to ensure that enough glucose in present in the blood for skeletal and cardiac muscle, as well as for
other tissues. Glycogen, glycerol, and amino acids are other sources of energy.

Cellular respiration.The citricacid cycle constitutes the first stage in cellular respiration, theremoval of high-energy electrons from carbon fuels (left). These electrons reduce O2 to generate a
proton gradient (pink pathway), which is used to synthesize ATP (green pathway). The reduction of
O2 and the synthesis of ATP constitute oxidative phosphorylation.

Response of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex to the
energy charge.The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is regulated torespond to the energy charge of the cell. (A) The complex is inhibited
by its immediate products, NADH and acetyl CoA, as well as by the
ultimate product of cellular respiration, ATP. (B) The complex is
activated by pyruvate and ADP, which inhibit the kinase thatphosphorylates PDH.

CoA. The synthesis of acetylCoA by the pyruvate
dehydrogenase complex is a

a) lacks fuel stores and hence requires a continuous supply of glucose.
b) Consumes about 120 g of glucose daily, accounting for some 60%
of the utilization of glucose by the whole body in the resting state.
c) Uses much of the energy (60-70%) to power transport mechanisms
that maintain the Na+-K+ membrane potential required for the transmission
of the nerve impulses.
Glucose is virtually the sole fuel for the human brain, except
during prolonged starvation.

d) Uptakes glucose by the glucose transporter GLUT3, which has a low
value of KM
for glucose (1.6 mM). GLUT3 is nearly saturated under most
conditions, given during fasting the concentration of glucose in the blood
and in the brain are 4.7 mM (84.7 mg/dL) and 1 mM, respectively.
e) Slows its glycolysis rate when the glucose level approaches the KM
value of hexokinase (~ 50 mM), the enzyme that traps glucose in the cell.This danger point is reached when the plasma-glucose level drops below
about 2.2 mM (39.6 mg/dL) and thus approaches the KM value of GLUT3.
f) Does not uses fatty acids as fuel. In starvation, ketone bodies
generated by the liver partly replace glucose as fuel for the brain.
Glucose is virtually the sole fuel for the human brain, except
during prolonged starvation.

The major fuels for skeletal muscle are fatty acids,
glucose, and ketone bodies.
Each organ has a unique metabolic profile: the muscle
In resting skeletal muscle, fatty acids are the major fuel,
meeting 85% of the energy needs.
Muscle differs from the brain in having a large store of glycogen,
equivalent to 5,000 kJ of energy (about total glycogen
is stored in muscle).
Muscle, like the brain, lacks glucose 6-phosphatase, and so it does
not export glucose. Rather, muscle retains glucose, its preferred
fuel for bursts of activity.

Pathway integration: the glucose-alanine cycle
During prolonged exercise and fasting, muscle uses branched-chain amino acid as fuel. The nitrogen
removed is transferred (through glutamate) to alanine, which is released into the bloodstream. Inthe liver, alanine is taken up and converted into pyruvate for the subsequent synthesis of glucose.

Unlikely skeletal muscle, heart muscle functions almost
exclusively aerobically.

Each organ has a unique metabolic profile:
the adipose tissue
The triacylglycerols stored in adipose tissue are
an enormous reservoir of metabolic fuel.
In a typical 70-kg man, the 15 kg of tryacylglycerols have an
energy content of 565,000 kJ.
Adipose tissue is specialized for the esterification of fatty acids
to form triacylglycerols and for ther release from triacylglycerols.

Each organ has a unique metabolic profile: the adipose tissue
Synthesis and degradation of triacylglycerols by adipose tissue. Fatty acids from
the liver are delivered to adipose cells in the form of triacylglycerols contained in very lowdensity lipoproteins (VLDLs). Fatty acids from the diet are transported in chylomicrons.

Each organ has a unique metabolic profile: the kidney
The major purpose of the kidneys is to produce urine.
Urine serves as a vehicle for excreting metabolic waste products
and for maintaining the osmolarity of the body fluids.
The kidneys requiere large amounts of energy to accomplishrenal reabsorption. Although constituting only 0.5% of body mass,
the kidneys consume 10% of the oxygen used in cellular respiration.
Much of the glucose that is reabsorbed is carried into the kidney
cells by the sodium-glucose cotransporter.
During starvation, the kidney becomes an important site of
gluconeogenesis and may contribute as much as half of the
blood glucose.

The metabolic activities of the liver are essential for
providing fuel to the brain, muscle, and other
peripheral organs.

How the liver metabolizes carbohydrates? The liver:
a) removes 2/3 of the glucose from the blood andall the remaining monosaccharides after meals.
b) left some glucose in blood for use by other tissues.
c) converts absorbed glucose into glucose 6-phosphate, mainlyfor glycogen synthesis. Excess of glucose 6-phosphate is
metabolized to acetyl CoA, which is used to form fatty acids,
cholesterol, and bile salts.
d) supplies NADPH for reductive biosynthesis through proccesing
glucose 6-phosphate by the pentose phosphate pathway.
e) produces glucose for release into the blood by breaking down
its store of glycogen and by carrying out gluconeogenesis from
lactate and alanine from muscle, glycerol from adipose tissue,
and glucogenic amino acid from the diet.

Diabetic ketosis results when insulin is absent.In the absence of insulin, fats are releasedfrom adipose tissue, and glucose cannot be absorbed by the liver or adipose tissue. The liver
degrades the fatty acids by b-oxidation but cannot process the acetyl CoA, because of a lack of
glucose-derived oxaloacetate (OAA). Excess ketone bodies are formed and released into the blood.
