Presentation Transcript

  1. Regulation of MetabolismLecture 28-Kumar • How does the body know when to increase metabolism? Slow metabolism? • What might be some indicators of energy status within the cell? Requires communication Works through allosteric regulation of enzyme activity

  2. Mechanisms of Cellular Communication Figure 6-1 - Overview

  3. What Hormones Regulate Metabolism? • Insulin • Glucagon • Thyroid hormone • Cortisol • Epinephrine Most regulation occurs in order to maintain stable blood glucose concentrations for supplying fuel to the brain!

  4. Protein or peptide hormone Almost always proteins called kinases Activation/inactivation of an enzyme; opening/closing a membrane channel; activating a transcription factor Figure 6-3

  5. Pancreas one islet of Langerhans Digestive enzymes and NaHCO3 hormones

  6. Anabolic hormone fatty acid & amino acid uptake  Glycolysis  Glycogen synth.  Lipogenesis  Protein synth. Plasma fatty acids, ketoacids & amino acids

  7. Catabolic hormone

  8. Mechanism of Insulin Action

  9. Major Effects of Insulin • Skeletal muscle takes up glucose from blood • Liver takes up glucose, increases glycogen production • Liver increases fatty acid synthesis when its glycogen stores are full • Adipose takes up blood glucose and fatty acid breakdown is inhibited Overall insulin has a fat sparing action. It works to store excess energy

  10. Mechanism of action for glucagon Glucagon from a cells of pancreas Figure 6-11 - Overview

  11. Effects of Glucagon and Insulin on Glucose Metabolism

  12. PFK-2 The allosteric regulator fructose-2,6-bisphosphate is synthesized & degraded by a bi-functional enzyme that includes 2 catalytic domains: Phosphofructokinase-2 (PFK2) domain catalyzes: Fructose-6-phosphate + ATP  fructose-2,6-bisphosphate + ADP Fructose-Biophosphatase-2 (FBPase2) domain catalyzes: Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate + H2O  fructose-6-phosphate + Pi Bifunctional PFK2/FBPase2 assembles into a homodimer.

  13. Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate

  14. Cortisol: slow catabolic effects; response to long-term stress increases protein breakdown in muscles and fat breakdown in adipose tissue, elevating amino acids and fatty acids in blood. increases glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis in liver; elevates blood glucose synergistic effect for actions of glucagon and epinephrine in elevating blood glucose anti-inflammatory: inhibits cytokine activation of immune system Long-term excessive cortisol levels can cause severe muscle breakdown, lipolysis, and hyperglycemia. Hypersecretion may be from a tumor (Cushing's disease) or excess ACTH.

  15. Test Your Knowledge • The major hormones that promote glucose release into the blood are: • The major hormones that promote storage of glucose are: • A hepatic cell has receptors for epinephrine, glucagon, and insulin. These hormones may or may not act in concert to produce a desired effect. How does the hepatocyte know what to do? • What are the major second messenger systems used by the hormones that regulate blood glucose? What is the end result of activation of these second messenger systems?
