The enzymes activated in adipocytes due to low blood glucose levels during fasting include Hormone-Sensitive Lipase, Desnutrin/Adipose Triglyceride Lipase, monoglyceride lipase, and Triacylglycerol Hydrolases.

Describe the changes that occur in the levels of plasma insulin, plasma glucagon, plasma free fatty acids, blood glucose, liver glycogen and blood ketone bodies when the body is in the fasting state

During fasting state insulin levels are decreased, instead of it glucagon levels are increased to supply tissues and organs with glucose. Blood glucose is supported on a stable level with...

Hexokinase is an important enzyme in the metabolism of glucose. If the concentration of hexokinase in our eukaryotic cell is 20 um, how many glucose molecules are present per hexokinase molecule?

As the concentration of glucose in a cell equals approximately 1 mM, the ratio of glucose/hexokinase is 1 mM/0.02 mM = 50 : 1. As a result, one molecule of...

Why does an endotherm’s metabolic rate increase above the upper lethal temperature? And why does the metabolic rate fall below the lower lethal temperature?

Above the upper lethal temperature, an endotherm’s metabolic rate increases to expend energy that will be used to lose heat. As a result, increased metabolic rate causes sweating that stimulates...

Km of Hexokinase enzyme for the glucose is 0.15 mM and Glucokinase is 2 mM”. Discuss this statement in terms of the significance of glucose metabolism.

Glucokinase and Hexokinase are enzymes which phosphorylate glucose to glucose-6-phosphate, trapping glucose inside the cell.Compared to hexokinase, glucokinase has a higher Km (lower binding affinity) and a higher Vmax (increased...
