2. Regulation of Glycolysis
• Three key enzymes catalyze
irreversible reactions : Hexokinase,
Phosphofructokinase & Pyruvate
Kinase.
1) PFK-1
The reaction catalyzed by PFK-1 is
usually the rate-limiting step of the
Glycolysis pathway.
This enzyme is regulated by covalent
modification, allosteric regulation.
bifunctional enzyme
2) Pyruvate kinase
• Allosteric regulation:
F-1,6-BP acts as allosteric activator ;
ATP and Ala in liver act as allosteric inhibitors;
• Covalent modification:
phosphorylated by Glucagon
through cAMP and PKA and inhibited.

3) Hexokinase and glucokinase
• This enzyme is regulated by covalent modification, allosteric regulation and isoenzyme regulation.
• Inhibited by its product G-6-P.
• Insulin induces synthesis of glucokinase.
3. Significance of glycolysis
1) Glycolysis is the emergency energy-yielding pathway.
2) Glycolysis is the main way to produce ATP in some tissues, even though the oxygen supply is sufficient, such as red blood cells, retina, testis, skin, medulla of kidney.
• In glycolysis, 1mol G produces 2mol lactic acid and 2mol ATP.
§ 3 Aerobic Oxidation of Glucose
• The process of complete
oxidation of glucose to CO2 and water with liberation of energy as the form of ATP is named aerobic oxidation.
• The main pathway of G oxidation.

2) Tricarboxylic acid cycle, TCAC
• The cycle comprises the combination of a
molecule of acetyl-CoA with oxaloacetate,
resulting in the formation of a six-carbon
tricarboxylic acid, citrate. There follows a
series of reactions in the course of which
two molecules of CO2 are released and
oxaloacetate is regenerated.
• Also called citrate cycle or Krebs cycle.

(2) Bio-significance of TCAC
① Acts as the final common pathway for
the oxidation of carbohydrates, lipids,
and proteins.
② Serves as the crossroad for the
interconversion among carbohydrates,
lipids, and non-essential amino acids,
and as a source of biosynthetic
intermediates.
Krebs Cycle is at the hinge of metabolism.
2. ATP produced in the aerobic oxidation
• acetyl CoA → TCAC : 3 (NADH+H+) + FADH2 + 1GTP → 12 ATP.
• pyruvate →acetyl CoA: NADH+H+ → 3 ATP
• 1 G → 2 pyruvate : 2(NADH+H+) → 6 or 8ATP
1mol G : 36 or 38mol ATP
( 12 + 3 ) ×2 + 6 ( 8 )= 36 ( 38 )

4. Pasteur Effect
• Under aerobic conditions, glycolysis is inhibited and this inhibitory effect of oxygen on glycolysis is known as Pasteur effect.
• The key point is NADH : NADH mitochondria

2. Regulation of pentose phosphate pathway
Glucose-6-phosphate Dehydrogenase is the rate-limiting enzyme.
NADPH/NADP+↑, inhibit;
NADPH/NADP+↓, activate.
3. Significance of pentose Phosphate pathway
1) To supply ribose 5-phosphate for bio-synthesis of nucleic acid;
2) To supply NADPH as H-donor in metabolism;
NADPH is very important “reducing power” for the synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol, and amino acids, etc.
NADPH is the coenzyme of glutathione
reductase to keep the normal level of
reduced glutathione;
So, NADPH, glutathione and glutathione reductase together will preserved the integrity of RBC membrane.

favism
NADPH serves as the coenzyme of mixed function oxidases (mono-oxygenases). In liver this enzyme participates in biotransformation.
§5 Glycogen synthesis and catabolism
Glycogen is a polymer of glucose residues linked by (1→4) glycosidic bonds, mainly (1→6) glycosidic bonds, at
branch points.
• The process of glycogenesis
occurs in cytosol of liver and
skeletal muscle mainly.
1. Glycogen synthesis (Glycogenesis)
• UDPG: G active pattern, G active donor.• In glycogen anabolism, 1 G consumes
2~P. • Glycogen synthase: key E.

§6 Gluconeogenesis
• Concept:
The process of transformation of non-carbohydrates to glucose or glycogen is termed as gluconeogenesis.
• Materials: lactate, glycerol, pyruvate and glucogenic amino acid.
• Site: mainly liver, kidney.
1. Gluconeogenic pathway
• The main pathway for gluconeogenesis
is essentially a reversal of glycolysis,
but there are three energy barriers
obstructing a simple reversal of
glycolysis.

Lactic acid (Cori) cycle• Lactate, formed by the oxidation of
glucose in skeletal muscle and by blood, is transported to the liver where it re-forms glucose, which again becomes available via the circulation for oxidation in the tissues. This process is known as the lactic acid cycle or Cori cycle.

Blood sugar level must be maintained within a limited range to ensure the supply of glucose to brain.
The blood glucose concentration is 3.89 ~ 6.11mmol/L normally.
2. Regulation of blood sugar level
1 ) insulin : for decreasing blood sugar levels.
2 ) glucagon : for increasing blood sugar levels.
3 ) glucocorticoid: for increasing blood sugar levels.
4 ) adrenaline : for increasing blood sugar levels.
3. Abnormal Blood Sugar Level
• Hyperglycemia: > 7.22 ~ 7.78 mmol/L
• The renal threshold for glucose: 8.89
~ 10.00mmol/L
• Hypoglycemia: < 3.33 ~ 3.89mmol/L
