  1. REGULATION OF BODY WEIGHT THE BIOCHEMISTRY OF APPETITE AND ENERGY EXPENDITURE

  2. REGULATION OF BODY WEIGHT • OVERVIEW • ORGAN SPECIALIZATION • METABOLIC PATHWAYS • HOMEOSTASIS • PROTEINS INVOLVED IN WEIGHT REGULATION • DYSREGULATION • STARVATION • OBESITY • DIABETES: TYPES I AND II • DIETING • ATKINS DIET

  3. OVERVIEW 1 • NORMAL METABOLISM IS A HIGHLY CONTROLLED AND REGULATED BALANCE BETWEEN ANABOLISM AND CATABOLISM • CATABOLIC PROCESSES RELEASE CHEMICAL ENERGY STORED IN COMPLEX MOLECULES • ENERGY SAVED AS ATP, NADH, NADPH, FADH2 • OR USED AS NEEDED IN VARIOUS PROCESSES • ANABOLIC PROCESSES BUILD COMPLEX MOLECULES FROM SIMPLER MOLECULES • REQUIRE ENERGY, USUALLY FROM ATP, NADH, NADPH • METABOLIC FUELS (STORAGE MOLECULES) • PROTEINS • POLYSACCHARIDES • LIPIDS • NUCLEOTIDE METABOLISM :ONLY A VERY SMALL ROLE IN ENERGY BALANCE (AT THE LEVEL OF PYRIMIDINE CATABOLISM)

  4. OVERVIEW 2 • PATHWAYS INVOLVED IN ENERGY METABOLISM ARE INTERRELATED • REVIEW THE MAJOR PATHWAYS INVOLVED IN FUEL METABOLISM AND THEIR REGULATION • GLYCOLYTIC/GLUCONEOGENIC • GLYCOGEN METABOLISM • FATTY ACID METABOLISM • CITRIC ACID CYCLE • AMINO ACID METABOLISM • PENTOSE PHOSPHATE PATHWAY • OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION

  5. OVERVIEW 3 : COMPARTMENTALIZATION • TWO COMPARTMENTS IN WHICH METABOLISM IS DIVIDED: • CYTOSOL • GLYCOLYSIS • GLUCONEOGENESIS • GLYCOGEN BREAKDOWN AND SYNTHESIS • PENTOSE PHOSPHATE PATHWAY • FATTY ACID SYNTHESIS • AMINO ACID DEGRADATION AND UREA CYCLE • MITOCHONDRIA • CITRIC ACID CYCLE • OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION • FATTY ACID OXIDATION • AMINO ACID DEGRADATION AND UREA CYCLE • MEMBRANE TRANSPORT BETWEEN CYTOSOL AND MITOCHONDRIA

  6. OVERVIEW 4 • MITOCHONDRIAL-CYTOSOLIC INTERFACE • MITOCHONDRIAL MEMBRANE TRANSPORTERS: • PYRUVATE TRANSPORTER • CARNITINE/ACYLCARNITINE TRANSPORTER • CITRATE TRANSPORTER • ASPARTATE TRANSPORTER • MALATE TRANSPORTER • CITRULLINE TRANSPORTER • ORNITHINE TRANSPORTER • OTHERS

  7. OVERVIEW 5 • ORGANS ARE SPECIALIZED WITH REGARD TO METABOLISM • DIFFERENT METABOLIC NEEDS AND FUNCTIONS • INTER-ORGAN COORDINATION WE WILL LOOK AT HOW SPECIFIC METABOLIC FUNCTIONS ARE DISTRIBUTED AMONG THE FOLLOWING ORGANS: • BRAIN • MUSCLE (SKELETAL AND HEART) • LIVER • KIDNEY • ADIPOSE TISSUE

  8. ORGAN SPECIALIZATION: MUSCLE • MUSCLE FUELS: • GLUCOSE • FROM GLYCOGEN • FATTY ACIDS • KETONE BODIES

  9. GLYCOGEN • GLYCOGEN  GLUCOSE-6-PHOSPHATE • G-6-P ENTERS GLYCOLYTIC PATHWAY • MUSCLE LACKS G-6-PHOSPHATASE • SO CANNOT GENERATE GLUCOSE FOR EXPORT • MUSCLE CAN SYNTHESIZE GLYCOGEN FROM GLUCOSE • 1% - 2% OF MASS IN RESTED MUSCLE • GLYCOGEN MOBILIZED FASTER THAN FAT • GLUCOSE METABOLISM BOTH AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC • FAT METABOLISM ONLY AEROBIC

  10. MUSCLE • CANNOT CARRY OUT GLUCONEOGENESIS • MUSCLE CONTRACTION • DRIVEN BY ATP HYDROLYSIS • AEROBIC OR ANAEROBIC • NEEDS ATP REGENERATION • ATP RESUPPLY • INITIALLY FROM PHOSPHOCREATINE (1st 4s OF MAX. EXERTION) • PHOSPHOCREATINE + ADP  CREATINE + ATP • RESPIRATION (GLYCOLYSIS OF G-6-P) • ANAEROBIC DEGRADATION TO LACTATE • WHEN GLYCOLYTIC FLUX > KREBS, OXPHOS FLUXES

  11. MUSCLE • LACTATE •   pH  MUSCLE FATIGUE • TRANSFERRED TO LIVER VIA BLOOD • HEART MUSCLE • AEROBIC • PRIMARILY FATTY ACIDS AS FUEL • CAN ALSO USE • GLUCOSE (FROM SMALL GLYCOGEN STORE) • KETONE BODIES • PYRUVATE, LACTATE

  12. MUSCLE • CARBOHYDRATE METABOLISM IN MUSCLE SOLELY SERVES MUSCLE • CAN’T EXPORT GLUCOSE • CAN’T PARTICIPATE IN GLUCONEOGENESIS • IN STARVATION • PROTEOLYTIC DEGRADATION OF MUSCLE TO AMINO ACIDS

  13. MUSCLE METABOLISM TO LIVER TO LIVER ALANINE  LACTATE  PYRUVATE  H2O + CO2  INTO BLOOD AMINO ACIDS   PROTEINS GLUCOSE  GLYCOGEN FATTY ACIDS + KETONE BODIES FROM LIVER

  14. INTERORGAN PATHWAYS • IN-CLASS EXERCISE *** DURING MAXIMUM EXERTION, MUSCLES GENERATE LACTATE, WHICH IS RELEASED INTO THE BLOODSTREAM. (1) SHOW THE PATHWAY BY WHICH GLUCOSE IS SYNTHESIZED FROM LACTATE IN THE LIVER. (2) WHY ARE SEPARATE COMPARTMENTS NEEDED FOR THIS. (3) WHY DOESN’T MUSCLE RELEASE PYRUVATE DIRECTLY FOR UPTAKE BY THE LIVER TO REGENERATE GLUCOSE, INSTEAD OF CONVERTING IT TO LACTATE? (4) WHAT IS THE NET COST, IN TERMS OF NUCLEOSIDE TRIPHOSPHATES, OF ONE SYNTHETIC CYCLE?

  15. ADIPOSE TISSUE • STORES AND RELEASES FATTY ACIDS • STORAGE • SUBCUTANEOUS • INTRA-ABDOMINAL • SKELETAL MUSCLE • FATTY ACIDS TRANSPORT: AS LIPOPROTEINS • LIPOPROTEINS: NONCOVALENT PROTEIN-LIPID COMPLEX • CHYLOMICRONS (INTESTINAL MUCOSA) DIETARY TG, CHOL  TISSUES • VLDLS (SYNTHESIZED IN LIVER) : LIVER TISSUE; TG, CHOL • HDLS (PLASMA) : TISSUELIVER CHOL. TRANSPORT • STORED AS TRIGLYCERIDES

  16. TRIACYLGLYCEROLS • FATTY ACID ACYLATION TO ACYL-CoA • ATP-DEPENDENT • ACYL-CoA SYNTHETASES • FATTY ACYL-CoA + GLYCEROL-3-PHOSPHATE  STORED TRIACYLGLYCEROLS • GLUCOSE  DHAP (GLYCOLYSIS) • DHAP + NADH + H+  G-3-P + NAD+ • HYDROLYSIS OF TRIACYLGLYCEROLS FOR FUEL •  FATTY ACIDS + GLYCEROL • WHEN GLUCOSE IS PLENTIFUL, GLYCOLYSIS PREDOMINATES  DHAP  G-3-P • FATTY ACIDS  STORED AS TRIACYLGLYCEROLS

  17. ADIPOSE TISSUE TRIACYLGLYCEROLS FROM LIVER TO LIVER FATTY ACIDS + GLYCEROL WELL-FED TRIACYLGLYCEROLS WELL-FED WELL-FED STATE FROM LIVER GLUCOSE

  18. BRAIN • 20 % OF RESTING O2 CONSUMPTION • FUEL FOR PLASMA MEMBRANE Na+- K+ ATPase • MAINTAINS NEURONAL MEMBRANE POTENTIAL • GLUCOSE IS PRIMARY FUEL • BRAIN DOESN’T STORE MUCH GLYCOGEN •  REQUIRES STEADY SUPPLY OF GLUCOSE • DURING FASTING, STARVATION • KETONE BODIES

  19. BRAIN KETONE BODIES H2O + CO2 FROM LIVER TO BLOOD GLUCOSE

  20. LIVER • A “CENTRAL CLEARINGHOUSE” FOR METABOLITES • ALL NUTRIENTS ABSORBED BY INTESTINES DRAIN DIRECTLY INTO THE LIVER VIA THE PORTAL VEIN • EXCEPT FATTY ACIDS • REGULATES BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVEL • RESPONDS TO: • INSULIN • GLUCAGON • EPINEPHRINE • BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVEL

  21. LIVER • WHAT HAPPENS AFTER CHO INGESTION? • LIVER CELLS ARE PERMEABLE TO GLUCOSE • INSULIN HAS NO DIRECT EFFECT ON UPTAKE • WHEN [GLUCOSE] ~ 6 mM LIVER CONVERTS IT TO G-6-P • GLUCOKINASE IS THE ENZYME • AN ISOZYME OF HEXOKINASE • REVIEW ENZYME KINETICS OF BOTH • KM = 0.1 mM FOR HEXOKINASE; 5 mM FOR GLUCOKINASE • HYPERBOLIC VS SIGMOIDAL KINETICS

  22. LIVER • EARLY SATURATION OF HEXOKINASE • INHIBITION BY G-6-P • GLUCOKINASE ACTIVITY LINEAR AT HIGHER [GLUCOSE] • NOT INHIBITED BY G-6-P • GLUCOKINASE IS MONOMERIC • ALLOSTERISM DOESN’T EXPLAIN KINETICS • OTHER ABSORBED SUGARS  G-6-P IN LIVER

  23. CENTRAL ROLE OF GLUCOSE-6-PHOSPHATE IN CHO METABOLISM • ITS FATE DEPENDS ON DEMAND FOR GLUCOSE • G6P  GLUCOSE (G-6-PHOSPHATASE) • WHEN BLOOD [GLUCOSE] < 5 mM • TRANSPORT TO PERIPHERAL ORGANS • G6P  GLYCOGEN • WHEN GLUCOSE DEMAND IS LOW • WHEN GLUCAGON AND/OR EPINEPHRINE LEVELS  • INDICATES  GLUCOSE DEMAND • GLYCOGEN  G-6-P  GLUCOSE • G-6-P  PYRUVATE (GLYCOLYSIS)  ACETYL CoA • OXIDIZED BY C.A. CYCLE AND OXPHOS OR USED FOR FATTY ACID SYNTHESIS • ALSO PHOSPHOLIPIDS, CHOLESTEROL • PYRUVATE DEHYDROGENASE • G-6-P  HEXOSE-MONOPHOSPHATE SHUNT

  24. INTERORGAN PATHWAYSIN-CLASS STUDY QUESTION *** • AMINO ACIDS CAN BE TRANSAMINATED TO ALANINE IN MUSCLE BY USING PYRUVATE AS THE -KETOACID SUBSTRATE. ALANINE IS RELEASED INTO THE BLOODSTREAM AND CIRCULATES TO THE LIVER. • (1) SHOW HOW ALANINE IS CONVERTED TO GLUCOSE IN THE LIVER. • (2) SHOW THE FATE(S) OF THE AMINO GROUPS TRANSFERRED BY THE AMINO ACIDS METABOLIZED THIS WAY IN MUSCLE • (3) SHOW THE FLUX OF ALANINE’S AMINO GROUP FROM ITS ENTRY INTO THE LIVER TO ITS EXIT AS UREA. START WITH 2 MOLECULES OF ALA.

  25. IN-CLASS STUDY QUESTION • EXPLAIN WHY ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION AFTER STRENUOUS EXERCISE, OR ACCIDENTALLY BY A FASTING CHILD, CAUSES HYPOGLYCEMIA (A LOW BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVEL)

  26. CLINICAL CASE STUDY • A THREE MONTH OLD BABY IS REFERRED TO A DEVELOPMENTAL PEDIATRICIAN BECAUSE SHE HAS POOR HEAD CONTROL, IS HYPOTONIC, AND IS NOT DEVELOPING IN A TYPICAL FASHION. ON EXAMINATION, SHE SHOWS GLOBAL DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY (AT THE LEVEL OF A ONE MONTH OLD) AND IS FEELS LIKE A “RAG DOLL” WHEN PICKED UP. SHE HAS DECREASED MUSCLE MASS AND IS NOT FEEDING WELL. SHE HAD A NORMAL EXAMINATION AT BIRTH, BUT WAS “SMALL FOR GESTATIONAL AGE”. HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE IS NOW IN THE “MICROCEPHALIC” RANGE. • THE PEDIATRICIAN CONSIDERED A METABOLIC CAUSE FOR THE BABY’S SYMPTOMS, AMONG OTHER CAUSES, AND DID AN EXTENSIVE “METABOLIC WORKUP”. ABNORMAL RESULTS INCLUDED: • INCREASED SERUM [PYRUVATE], [LACTATE], [AMMONIA] • INCREASED LEVELS OF SERUM ALANINE AND CITRULLINE • LOW SERUM [ASPARTATE] • LOW FASTING BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVEL • BORDERLINE LOW BLOOD pH *NOTE: THE PHLEBOTOMIST WAS INSTRUCTED TO TRANSPORT THE LACTATE AND PYRUVATE IMMEDIATELY TO THE LAB ON ICE.

  27. CLINICAL CASE STUDY: CONTINUED • THE REMAINDER OF THE BLOOD STUDIES WERE NORMAL. AFTER THE LABS RETURN, A FIBROBLAST CULTURE IS OBTAINED AND A PYRUVATE CARBOXYLASE DEFICIENCY IS DIAGNOSED. • BEFORE THE RESULTS OF THE FIBROBLAST CULTURE ARE AVAILABLE, THE INFANT DEVELOPS A VIRAL SYNDROME WITH FEVER, DEVELOPS SEIZURES AND DIES. • QUESTIONS: • EXPLAIN THE BIOCHEMICAL BASIS FOR EACH OF THE ABNORMAL LAB FINDINGS • “PSYCHOMOTOR RETARDATION” IS THE RESULT OF A LACK OF THE NEUROTRANSMITTERS GLU, ASP AND GABA. WHY DOES PYRUVATE CARBOXYLASE DEFICIENCY RESULT IN DEFICIENCIES OF THESE? • IF THIS INFANT HAD NOT DIED, WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SOME POTENTIAL TREATMENTS?

  28. HORMONAL INFLUENCES ON METABOLISM • EPINEPHRINE • CYCLIC AMP AS SECONDARY MESSENGER • GLUCAGON • CYCLIC AMP AS SECONDARY MESSENGER • INSULIN

  29.
