Nutritional Requirements Living tissue is maintained by constant
expenditure of energy (ATP). Indirectly from glucose, fatty acids, ketones,
amino acids, and other organic molecules. Energy of food is commonly measured in
kilocalories. One kilocalorie is = 1000 calories.
One calorie = amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 cm3 of H20 from 14.5o to 15.5o C.
The amount of energy released as heat when food is combusted in vitro = amount of energy released within cells through aerobic respiration.

Metabolic Rate and Caloric Requirements
Metabolic rate is the total rate of body metabolism. Metabolic rate measured by the amount of
oxygen consumed by the body/min. BMR:
Oxygen consumption of an awake relaxed person 12–14 hours after eating and at a comfortable temperature.
BMR determined by: Age. Gender.
Body surface area. Thyroid secretion.

Anabolic Requirements
Anabolism: Food supplies raw materials for synthesis
reactions. Synthesize:
DNA and RNA. Proteins. Triglycerides. Glycogen.
Must occur constantly to replace molecules that are hydrolyzed.
![Page 5: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Aerobic Requirements (continued)
Catabolism: Hydrolysis (break down monomers
down to CO2 and H2O.): Hydrolysis reactions and cellular
respiration. Gluconeogenesis. Glycogenolysis. Lipolysis.
![Page 6: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How do we use food components in catabolic and anabolic pathways?
Involves specific chemical reactions:- Each reaction is catalyzed by a specific enzyme.- Other compounds, besides those being directly metabolized, are required as intermediates or catalysts in metabolic reactions
- adenosine triphosphate (ATP)- nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
(NAD+)- flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD+)- Coenzyme A
![Page 7: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
ATP ATP is the energy currency of the cell The structure of ATP is similar to that of nucleic
acids The energy in ATP is “carried” in the
phosphate groups- to convert ADP into ATP requires energy- the energy is stored as potential energy
in the phosphate group bond- removal of the third phosphate releases
that energy
![Page 8: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
NADH, FADH2
NAD+ can accept a hydrogen ion and become reduced to NADH:
NAD+ + 2[H+] + 2e- NADH + H+
The added hydrogen ion (and electrons) can be carried to and used in other reactions in the body.
FAD+ is similarly reduced to FADH2. NADH and FADH carry hydrogen ions and
electrons to the enzymes in the electron transport chain of the mitochondria, allowing ATP production there.
![Page 9: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Coenzyme A
The enzyme coenzyme A converts acetyl groups (2-carbon structures) into acetyl CoA, which can then be used in metabolic reactions
During the course of acetyl CoA production, energy is released and is used to convert NAD+ to NADH
![Page 10: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Cellular Respiration Generating ATP from food requires
glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the electron transport chain.
Overall reaction:C6H12O6 + 6 O2----> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + 38 ATP + heat
The Main point: the break down of glucose releases LOTS of energy:
- about 40% in usable form (ATP)- about 60% as heat
![Page 11: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Glycolysis Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose
into pyruvic acid Two main steps are involved, occurring
in the cytoplasm of cells (no organelles involved).
![Page 12: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The two main steps of glycolysis:
glucose glucose 6-phosphate fructose 1,6- diphosphate
Step one:
ATP ATP
Step two:fructose 1,6-diphosphate
2 ATP 2 ATP2 NADH2 pyruvic acid
![Page 13: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What happens to pyruvic acid?
In aerobic respiration (oxygen present):- pyruvic acid moves from
cytoplasm to mitochondria- pyruvic acid (3 carbons) is
converted to acetyl group (2 carbons), producing CO2 in the process
- acetyl group is converted to acetyl CoA by coenzyme A
- acetyl CoA is used in the Krebs cycle.
![Page 14: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Krebs Cycle
Acetyl CoA combines with oxaloacetic acid, forming citric acid
A series of reactions then occurs resulting in:
- one ATP produced- three NADH and one FADH2
produced (go to electron transport chain)- two CO2 molecules produced
![Page 15: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Electron-transport Chain
The main point: NADH and FADH2 carry H+ ions to the electron-transport chain, resulting in production of ATP
To do this, the H+ ions are moved along the transport chain, eventually accumulating in the outer mitochondrial compartment
The H+ ions move back into the inner mitochondrial compartment via hydrogen channels, which are coupled to ATP production.
At the end of the transport chain, four hydrogen ions join with two oxygen molecules to form water:
4 H+ + O2 ----> 2 H2O In the absence of oxygen, the transport chain
stalls (no ATP production)
![Page 16: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Net Result of Glycolysis, Citric Acid Cycle, and Electron Transport Chain:
Production of ATP (stored, potential energy for chemical reactions in the body; 40% of energy released).
Production of heat (maintains body temperature; 60% of energy released).
Also, production of CO2 and H2O.
![Page 17: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Storage and Utilization of Glycogen Excess glucose can be stored as
glycogen.glucose glucose glucose glycogen
6-phosphate 1-phosphate Stored glycogen can be utilized, by glycogenolysis. Glycogenolysis:
-glycogen is broken down into glucose 6-phosphate- liver transforms glucose 6-phosphate to glucose, maintaining blood glucose levels
![Page 18: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Lipid Metabolism Over 95% of stored energy in the body is in the
form of triacylglycerol During lipid catabolism (lipolysis), triacylglycerol is
broken down into free fatty acids and glycerol Free fatty acids are metabolized by beta-oxidation:
1) fatty acid (18 C) + coenzyme A2) fatty acid (18 C)-coA3) fatty acid (16 C) and acetyl-coA
Acetyl-CoA used in citric acid cycle This reaction also yields NADH => electron
transport chain Excess acetyl-CoA forms ketone bodies
![Page 19: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Lipid Metabolism (cont.) The glycerol is converted into glyceraldehyde
3-phosphate, which is converted to pyruvic acid
Pyruvic acid is metabolized under aerobic conditions into acetyl-coA
While lipids are major storage form of energy, accessing lipids for metabolism takes time
- water insoluble- less efficient energy source- potential for keto-acidosis
![Page 20: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Protein Metabolism
Amino acids are NOT stored for energy However, protein can be broken down,
and amino acids can be modified and utilized to create glucose or for metabolism
Modification of amino acids to produce substrate for energy involves oxidative deamination
![Page 21: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Oxidative Deamination Oxidative deamination removes the
amino group from the amino acid, forming ammonia, NADH, and a keto acid:
NADH => electron transport chain ammonia => liver, converted to urea keto acid => acetyl-coA => citric acid
cycle
![Page 22: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Proteins and Energy Utilization of proteins for quick energy is
not very efficient:- more difficult to break apart
(multiple proteases)- toxic byproduct (ammonia)- can get accumulation of keto
acids- proteins are important structural
and functional components of cells
![Page 23: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Importance of Blood Glucose Homeostasis Blood glucose levels must be
maintained as a nutrient source for nervous tissue (no glucose stores)
What mechanisms regulate blood nutrient levels in tissues and blood glucose levels?
![Page 26: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The Endocrine Pancreas: Regulation of Nutrient Metabolism Located on the posterior abdominal wall,
retroperitoneal. Exocrine portion: secretes digestive enzymes
via pancreatic duct, to small intestine. Endocrine portion: pancreatic islets (of
Langerhans), involved in regulation of blood glucose levels.
![Page 27: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Production of Pancreatic Hormones by Three Cell Types
Alpha cells produce glucagon. Beta cells produce insulin. Delta cells produce somatostatin.
![Page 28: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Structure of Insulin Insulin is a polypeptide hormone,
composed of two chains (A and B) BOTH chains are derived from
proinsulin, a prohormone. The two chains are joined by disulfide
bonds.
![Page 29: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Roles of Insulin Acts on tissues (especially liver, skeletal
muscle, adipose) to increase uptake of glucose and amino acids.
- without insulin, most tissues do not take in glucose and amino acids well (except brain).
Increases glycogen production (glucose storage) in the liver and muscle.
Stimulates lipid synthesis from free fatty acids and triglycerides in adipose tissue.
Also stimulates potassium uptake by cells (role in potassium homeostasis).
![Page 30: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The Insulin Receptor As we previously saw, the insulin receptor is
composed of two subunits, and has intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity.
Activation of the receptor results in a cascade of phosphorylation events:
phosphorylation ofinsulin responsive substrates (IRS) RAS
RAF-1
MAP-KMAP-KK Final
actions
![Page 31: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Specific Targets of Insulin Action: Carbohydrates
Activation of glycogen synthetase. Converts glucose to glycogen.
Inhibition of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase. Inhibits gluconeogenesis.
Increased activity of glucose transporters. Moves glucose into cells.
![Page 32: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Specific Targets of Insulin Action: Lipids Activation of acetyl CoA carboxylase.
Stimulates production of free fatty acids from acetyl CoA.Activation of lipoprotein lipase (increases breakdown of triacylglycerol in the circulation). Fatty acids are then taken up by adipocytes, and triacylglycerol is made and stored in the cell.
lipoproteinlipase
![Page 33: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Regulation of Insulin Release Major stimulus: increased blood glucose
levels- after a meal, blood glucose increases
- in response to increased glucose, insulin is released
- insulin causes uptake of glucose into tissues, so blood glucose levels decrease.- insulin levels decline as blood glucose declines
![Page 34: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Effect of Glucose on Insulin Release Glucose enters beta cell through a
glucose transporter. Glucose is utilized to generate ATP. ATP closes a potassium channel,
depolarizing the beta cell membrane (normally, K+ leaks out of cell).
Depolarization activates a voltage-dependent calcium channel, increasing intracellular calcium levels.
Increased calcium triggers insulin release.
![Page 36: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

The synthesis and release of insulin is modulated
by:1. Glucose (most
important), AAs, FAs and ketone bodies stimulate release.
2. Glucagon and somatostation inhibit relases
3. α-Adrenergic stimulation inhibits release (most important).
4. β-Adrenergic stimulation promotes release.
5. Elevated intracellular Ca2+ promotes release.
Insulin secretion - Insulin secretion in beta cells is triggered by rising blood glucose levels. Starting with the uptake of glucose by the GLUT2 transporter, the glycolytic phosphorylation of glucose causes a rise in the ATP:ADP ratio. This rise inactivates the potassium channel that depolarizes the membrane, causing the calcium channel to open up allowing calcium ions to flow inward. The ensuing rise in levels of calcium leads to the exocytotic release of insulin from their storage granule.

Mechanism of Insulin Action
Insulin binds to specific high affinity membrane receptors with tyrosine kinase activity
Phosphorylation cascade results in translocation of Glut-4 (and some Glut-1) transport proteins into the plasma membrane.
It induces the transcription of several genes resulting in increased glucose catabolism and inhibits the transcription of genes involved in gluconeogenesis.
Insulin promotes the uptake of K+ into cells.
![Page 38: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Other Factors Regulating Insulin Release
Amino acids stimulate insulin release (increased uptake into cells, increased protein synthesis).
Keto acids stimulate insulin release (increased glucose uptake to prevent lipid and protein utilization).
Insulin release is inhibited by stress-induced increase in adrenal epinephrine- epinephrine binds to alpha adrenergic receptors on beta cells
- maintains blood glucose levels Glucagon stimulates insulin secretion (glucagon
has opposite actions).
![Page 39: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Structure and Actions of Glucagon Peptide hormone, 29 amino acids Acts on the liver to cause breakdown of
glycogen (glycogenolysis), releasing glucose into the bloodstream.
Inhibits glycolysis Increases production of glucose from amino
acids (gluconeogenesis). Also increases lipolysis, to free fatty acids for
metabolism. Result: maintenance of blood glucose levels
during fasting.
![Page 40: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Mechanism of Action of Glucagon
Main target tissues: liver, muscle, and adipose tissue
Binds to a Gs-coupled receptor, resulting in increased cyclic AMP and increased PKA activity.
Also activates IP3 pathway (increasing Ca++)
![Page 41: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Targets of Glucagon Action Activates a phosphorylase, which cleaves off a
glucose 1-phosphate molecule off of glycogen. Inactivates glycogen synthase by
phosphorylation (less glycogen synthesis). Increases phosphoenolpyruvate
carboxykinase, stimulating gluconeogenesis Activates lipases, breaking down triglycerides. Inhibits acetyl CoA carboxylase, decreasing
free fatty acid formation from acetyl CoA Result: more production of glucose and
substrates for metabolism
![Page 42: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Regulation of Glucagon Release
Increased blood glucose levels inhibit glucagon release.
Amino acids stimulate glucagon release (high protein, low carbohydrate meal).
Stress: epinephrine acts on beta-adrenergic receptors on alpha cells, increasing glucagon release (increases availability of glucose for energy).
Insulin inhibits glucagon secretion.
![Page 43: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Other Factors Regulating Glucose Homeostasis Glucocorticoids (cortisol): stimulate
gluconeogenesis and lipolysis, and increase breakdown of proteins.
Epinephrine/norepinephrine: stimulates glycogenolysis and lipolysis.
Growth hormone: stimulates glycogenolysis and lipolysis.
Note that these factors would complement the effects of glucagon, increasing blood glucose levels.
![Page 44: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Hormonal Regulation of Nutrients
Right after a meal (resting):
- blood glucose elevated
- glucagon, cortisol, GH, epinephrine low
- insulin increases (due to increased glucose)
- Cells uptake glucose, amino acids.
- Glucose converted to glycogen, amino acids into protein, lipids stored as triacylglycerol.
- Blood glucose maintained at moderate levels.
![Page 45: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
A few hours after a meal (active):- blood glucose levels decrease- insulin secretion decreases- increased secretion of glucagon, cortisol, GH, epinephrine - glucose is released from glycogen stores (glycogenolysis)- increased lipolysis (beta oxidation)- glucose production from amino acids increases (oxidative deamination; gluconeogenesis)- decreased uptake of glucose by tissues- blood glucose levels maintained

Turnover Rate
Rate at which a molecule is broken down and resynthesized.
Average daily turnover for carbohydrates is 250 g/day.
Some glucose is reused to form glycogen. Only need about 150 g/day.
Average daily turnover for protein is 150 g/day. Some protein may be reused for protein synthesis.
Only need 35 g/day. 9 essential amino acids.
Average daily turnover for fats is 100 g/day. Little is actually required in the diet.
Fat can be produced from excess carbohydrates. Essential fatty acids:
Linoleic and linolenic acids.

Eating
Eating behaviors partially controlled by hypothalamus.
Lesions in vetromedial area produce hyperphagia (obesity).
Lesions in lateral hypothalamus produces hypophagia (weight loss).
Endorphins, NE, serotonin, and CCK affect hunger and satiety.
![Page 49: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

Regulatory Functions of Adipose Tissue
Adipostat regulatory system (negative feedback loops) to defend amount of adipose tissue. Differentiation of adipocytes require nuclear
receptor protein (PPAR which is activated when bound to 15-D PGJ2:
Stimulates adipogenesis by promoting development of preadipocytes into mature adipocytes.
Number of adipocytes increase after birth. Differentiation promoted by high [fatty acids].
Adipocytes store fat within large vacuoles. May secrete hormones involved in regulation of
metabolism.

Regulatory Functions of Adipose Tissue (continued)
Leptin: Hormone that signals the hypothalamus to indicate the
level of fat storage. Involved in long-term regulation of eating.
Satiety factor in obese have decreased sensitivity to leptin in the brain.
Neuropeptide Y: Potent stimulator of appetite. Functions as a NT within the hypothalamus.
These neurons are inhibited by leptin. TNF

Regulation of Hunger
Adipose tissue secrete satiety factor: Acts through its regulation of hunger centers in
hypothalamus. Ghrelin:
Secreted by stomach. Secretions rise between meals and stimulate hunger.
CCK: Secretions rise during and immediately after a
meal. Produce satiety.
PYY3-36: Acts within the hypothalamus.
Decreases neuropeptide Y.

Obesity Obesity is often diagnosed by using using
a body mass index (BMI). BMI = w
h 2
w = weight in kilograms h = height in meters
Healthy weight as BMI between 19 – 25. Obesity defined as BMI > 30.
Obesity in childhood is due to an increase in both the size and the # of adipocytes.
Weight gains in adulthood is due to increase in adipocyte size in intra-abdominal fat.

Hormonal Regulation of Metabolism
Absorptive state: Absorption of energy. 4 hour period after eating. Increase in insulin secretion.
Postabsorptive state: Fasting state. At least 4 hours after the meal. Increase in glucagon secretion.
![Page 64: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)

Absorptive State
Insulin is the major hormone that promotes anabolism in the body.
When blood [insulin] increases: Promotes cellular uptake of glucose. Stimulates glycogen storage in the liver and
muscles. Stimulates triglyceride storage in adipose
cells. Promotes cellular uptake of amino acids and
synthesis of proteins.
![Page 65: The Endocrine Pancreas](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56815863550346895dc5c1f0/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)

Postabsorptive State
Maintains blood glucose concentration.
When blood [glucagon] increased: Stimulates glycogenolysis in the liver
(glucose-6-phosphatase). Stimulates gluconeogenesis. Skeletal muscle, heart, liver, and
kidneys use fatty acids as major source of fuel (hormone-sensitive lipase).
Stimulates lipolysis and ketogenesis.

Type I Diabetes Mellitus
cells of the islets of Langerhans are destroyed by autoimmune attack which may be provoked by environmental agent. Killer T cells target glutamate decarboxylase in
the cells (see next slide). Glucose cannot enter the adipose cells.
Rate of fat synthesis lags behind the rate of lipolysis.
Fatty acids converted to ketone bodies, producing ketoacidosis.
Increased blood [glucagon]. Stimulates glycogenolysis in liver.
