Chapter 12, Problem 26P
Interpretation Introduction

(a) Interpretation:

The statement "In liver, glucagon stimulates glycogen breakdown via camp. Although you might expect glucagon to stimulate catabolism of the glucose formed as well, glucagon inhibits glycolysis and stimulates gluconeogenesis in liver" should be explained.

Concept introduction:

When there is glycogen breakdown under the influence of glycogen, it releases glucose. Enzyme glucose -6-phosphate is essential for the formation of glucose by liver which it transports to other tissues. Phosphorylase kinase is an enzyme that donates phosphorous to convert the phosphorylase b (inactive) to a (active).

Interpretation Introduction

(b) Interpretation:

The statement "an individual with glucose − 6- phosphate deficiency suffers from chronic hypoglycemia" should be explained.

Interpretation Introduction

(c) Interpretation:

The statement "the action of phosphorylase kinase simultaneously activates glycogen breakdown and inhibits glycogen synthesis" should be explained.

Interpretation Introduction

(d) Interpretation:

The statement "the presence in liver of glucose-6-phosphate is essential to the function of the liver in synthesizing glucose for use by other tissues" should be explained.

Biochemistry What is the process of "transamination" in either the muscles or the liver, that involves keto acid or glutamic acid? Please explain how the steps work. Thank you!
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you What is the importance of glutamic acid in the metabolism of nitrogen from amino acids? (we know therole; it’s used to remove the nitrogen from amino acids so that the remaining carbon skeleton can bebroken down by the “usual” pathways, but what is the important, unique role that only glutamicacid/glutamate can do?)
