Module 15: Overview

 

 Metabolism Integration

biological chemistry

Learning Objectives

Upon successful completion of this module, students will be able to:

  • Metabolic pathways need to be regulated at the organismal level and are interdependent. 
  • Excess calories taken in, in any form can be converted to acetyl-CoA (the central energy metabolism compound) and stored as fat. 
  • Blood glucose levels must be maintained in order to feed the brain, which cannot metabolize fatty acids. 
  • Compare the role of insulin and glucagon during the fed-state, the between-meals-state and starvation state. 
  • Understand the relationship between metabolic pathways disruption and human metabolic diseases. 
  • Predict the flux of metabolites during starvation.
