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…

Consider regulation of glycolysis vs gluconeogenesis in the liver. Which of the following are more likely to promote the activity of gluconeogenesis rather than glycolysis? (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?

Why would LDH be up- or down-regulated depending on location of cancer cells? Anaerobic cancer cells enhance rates of ATP production and rely on pyruvate to lactate conversion. LDH5 expressed can vary in favoring pyruvate for conversion to lactate (anaerobic metabolism). Aerobic compartments in newly formed fibrobasts and vessels use lactate to convert to pyruvate for oxidative phosphorylation and favor lactate conversion to pyruvate by LDH1 (aerobic metabolism). Lactate dehydrogenase is upregulated in both cancer cells and supporting stroma and vessels, thus only LDH5 is upregulated showing enhanced expression levels and thus presence at the plasma membrane to increase levels of lactate for export, LDH1 levels are always consistent. LDH1 is upregulated in response to the export of lactate by MCT1, while LDH5 is down-regulated Neither LDH1 or LDH5 are both consistently expressed, regardless of oxygen levels
