Overview of Carbohydrate Metabolism:
The importance of regulating blood glucose levels.

Glucose:Obligate fuel for CNS & RBC’s
• CNS/Brain– Dependent on glucose as primary source of fuel
• Uses ~120g glucose/day of total 160‐200 g/d
• RBC– Dependent on glucose
– Lack mitochondria

Regulation of blood glucose levelsInsulin
Anabolic in response to hyperglycemia• Liver
– Stimulates glycogen synthesis, glycolysis, and fatty acid synthesis
• Muscle– Stimulates glycogen synthesis
• Adipose– Stimulates lipoprotein lipase resulting in uptake of fatty acids from chylomicrons and VLDL
– Stimulates glycolysis for glycerol phosphate synthesis (precurser to triglycerides)

Regulation of blood glucose levelsGlucagon
• Catabolic, in response to hypoglycemia
• Liver– Activates glycogen degradation, gluconeogenesis
• Adipose– Stimulates lipolysis and release of fatty acids

Diabetes Mellitus
• A multi‐organ catabolic response caused by insulin insufficiency
• Muscle– Protein catabolism for gluconeogenesis
• Adipose– Lipolysis for fatty acid release
• Liver– Ketogenesis from fatty acid oxidation– Gluconeogenesis from amino acids and glycerol
• Kidney– Ketonuria and cation excretion
• Renal ammoniagenesis (NH4+, cation excreted with KB)

Glucose Toxicity
• Diabetic complications• Glycosylation of Protein
– Reaction of glucose to amino groups– May be related to pathologic changes in eye, peripheral nerves, kidneys
– Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c)
• Polyol formation– Sorbitol production from aldol reductase– Accumulation of sorbitol results in osmotic changes and cataracts in the lens
