Concept introduction:
Fatty acids are aliphatic mono-carboxylic acids that are mostly obtained from the hydrolysis of natural fats and oils. They have a general formula
Fatty acids are activated to acyl CoA by thiokinases or acyl CoA synthetases.
Carbohydrate
- (1) Insulin – Stimulates glucose consuming process to decrease blood glucose level.
- (2) Glcogon – Inhibits glucose consuming pathways to increase blood sugar level.
- (3) Epinephrine

- Please answer the following question: Answer the following questions about Glygogen Metabolism: (But DON’T Just think about glycogen here!) a. After a carbohydrate-filled breakfast, your blood glucose levels increase. How does glucose affect liver glycogen phosphorylase activity? Briefly explain the direct effect (i.e., not via hormones) glucose has on the enzyme, referring to the structure of the enzyme. b. Imagine you develop a drug that targets glycogen synthase kinase as a treatment for Type 2 diabetes. You need to determine if this drug activates or inhibits glycogen synthase kinase? What effect should the drug have on the phosphorylation state and activity of glycogen synthase? Explain in detail your decision. c. Would protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) have to be active or inactive for this drug to be effective? Explain the rationale for your response; be sure to refer to the function of PP1 in your response.arrow_forwardA stroke is caused by blocking the blood supply to the brain.

- A person is suspected with diabetes mellitus. He checks his blood glucose level by gluceose oxidase method. After the experiment, OD of his blood sample was obtained as 0.08. Based on the glucose standard curve seen in the virtual lab, calculate his blood glucose level. Is he had diabetes mellitus? (Note: Normal blood glucose level in our body is 70-110mg/dl). Find out the role and chemical reactions of the following reagents in the blood glucose level determination by glucose oxidase method. a) Sodium sulphate – Zinc sulphate solution b ) Glucose oxidase reagent c) Peroxidase A person did estimation of blood glucose level by glucose oxidase method by referring the virtual lab procedure. But he forgot to add ortho - toluidine reagent during glucose oxidase reagent preparation. a) What is the observation of the result?…arrow_forwardWhat happens when you have glucose 6-phosphate deficiency?
