Term
Why Type I diabetics lose weight
Definition
No insulin means there is no Glut 4 transporters to bring Glu inside the cell.  So there is also no formation of triglycerides.  Levels of circulating fatty acids increase and go to the liver to make ketone bodies by ketosis. 
Term
Ketosis
Definition

When the liver makes ketone bodies from fatty acids. 

Patient's breath and sweat smells like acetone.

Term
When blood ketone levels increase

Insulin resistance

Term
beta cells and obesity theory
Definition

the beta cells are being "worn out" trying to make so much insulin to break down the calories of saturated fats

 

and transfatty acids act like saturated fat by packing in the phospholipid bilayer to tight that it alters the shape of the insulin receptor

Term
Why do physicians recommend aerobic exercise for diabetics
Definition

decrease heart disease by elevating HDL

 

upregulate the insulin receptors because glu will decrease, ins will decrease, and insR will increase

 

 

Term

Definition

Goal is to increase tensions and force

 

Body recruits type I fibers first, then type IIa, then type IIb 

 

Related to the size of the AMN, type I has small AMN amd type II has large AMN

 

This principle does not apply to speed, with speed body can go straight to type II fibers

phase 1 = initially K+ starts to leave which changes the mV direction

 

phase 2 = plateus because Ca2+ is coming in and K+ is coming out around equal rates

 

phase 3 = K+ leaves the cell because Ca and Na are coming in and the like charges repel 

 

phase 4 = Ca comes back into the cell to reset the whole process

Term

Glucose-FA Cycle 

purpose and pathway

Definition

PURPOSE: when elevated use of fat inhibits the use of blood glucose

 

PATHWAY:

FA levels are high so Acetyl CoA increases

PDH is inhibited and increases PYR

PYR will redirect to OAA production more than Acetyl CoA

More OAA will make more citrate

citrate will back up in the krebs cycle and leave the mitochondria

Citrate inhibits PFK in the cytoplasm

inhibited PFK will back up G6P

G6P accumulation will inhibit hexokinase

no hexokinase will allow glucose to leave cell

BG levels will increase

Term

Glucose Fatty Acid Reversal 

purpose and pathway

Definition

PURPOSE: elevated use of glucose will inhibit the use of fat

 

PATHWAY: Citrate will start to accumulate in krebs cycle

citrate will leave mitochondria due to concentration gradient

in the cytosol citrate will split by citrate lyase

either into OAA or to acetyl coA 

The acetyl coa will convert to malonyl coa via ACC

malonyl coa will make FA starting point and can inhibit the carnitine shuttle so fat cannot get into mitochondria
