Metabolism Review AP Biology: Big Idea #2 Glucose and regulation of metabolism
Low calorie sweeteners? • How could they cause weight gain if they don’t add calories? • http://www.npr.org/2013/07/12/201461166/not-so-sweet-side-effects-of-artificial-sweeteners • Learning goals: • What is an opinion paper in a journal? • How does the brain regulate appetite?
Glucose Regulation • Physiology challenge: • Volunteers from physiology to draw feedback loop: • Part of the loop that responds to digestion of candy from a psych bag. • Part of the loop that responds to forgetting to eat breakfast because you got up late and don’t want to miss your AP bio test!
Terms • Glycogen synthase • Glucagon • Gluconeogenesis
What actually causes? • Stimulation of glucagon release? • Amino acids & low blood glucose • Inhibition of glucagon release? • Blood glucose & insulin • Stimulation of insulin release? • Glucose transported into beta cellchange in calcium levelsrelease of insulin granules • Inhibition of insulin release? • Presence of glucagon inhibits insulin release
Role of Dietary Fiber in Glucose and Cholesterol Regulation • Soluable Fiber • Forms a gel matrix • Inhibits absorption of fatty acids; lowers LDL • Inhibits absorption of glucose • Insoluable Fiber • Allows for movement of materials through digestive system • Fills you up and foods with high fiber tend to be less energy dense
Diabetes • Type 1 • Type 2 • Make a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast: cause, mechanism, and treatment for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. • Obesity Epidemic: In what ways is this medical issue a societal issue? http://www.cdc.gov/cdctv/ObesityEpidemic/
Diabetes Journal Club • Discussion of literature and understanding cause and treatments of Type 1 & Type 2 diabetes. • Prepare ahead of time!
