One of the earliest responses to cellular injury is a rapid increase in the levels of enzymes in thepentose phosphate pathway. About ten days after an injury, levels of glucose 6-phosphatedehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase in heart tissue are 20 to 30 times higherthan normal. However the levels of glycolytic enzymes are only 10% to 20% of normal. Explainthis phenomenon.

The pentose phosphate pathway takes place in the cytosol of the cell, where glycolysis also takes…

(select all that apply) Group of answer choices An increase in the ATP/AMP ratio A decrease/lack of F-2,6-BP The cell is in a low energy state Insulin signaling Glucagon signaling An abundance of citric acid cycle intermediates (i.e. citrate) Intense exercise Inhibition of pyruvate carboxylase Fasting

Regulation of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDH) is dependent on indicators of energy charge (i.e. ATP/ADP ratio) and redox status (i.e. NADH/NAD* ratio). Answer the following questions about regulation of the PDH. a. The PDH is subject to regulation by a kinase and a phosphatase. Upon phosphorylation by the kinase, activity of PDH is reduced. Removal of the phosphoryl by the phosphatase increases activity of PDH. For the following metabolites, select whether the kinase that acts upon PDH is likely to be allosterically activated or inhibited by the molecule. ATP: [Select] NADH: [Select] b. When oxygen is depleted, the electron transport chain does not flow. What effect would these conditions have on activity of the PDH and why? (note, superscript does not work in the dropdown menu so NAD+ = NAD*) What effect?: [Select] Why?: [Select]
The binding of insulin to its receptor on the surface of atarget cell activates the receptor’s tyrosine kinase activity,which in turn causes several phosphorylation cascades thatalter the activity of numerous enzymes and alters the expression of genes. Describe how one of these phosphorylationcascades stimulates glycogen synthesis.
