Brain, neurons, and RBCs are dependent on glucose as a
nutrient. When dietary intake of glucose is decreased and
glycogen stores are depleted, we can make new glucose
from alternative fuel sources in a process called
gluconeogenesis
Fuels used to make new glucose include
• amino acids,
• lactate,
• Glycerol
Organ which most often performs gluconeogenesis is the
liver

Four Mechanisms for Regulating Blood Glucose
• Allosteric modulation by compounds within the
pathways
• Hormonal activation of covalent modification of specific
enzymes
• Directional shifts in reversible reactions by changes in
reactant or product concentrations
• Translocation of enzymes within the cell

Ethyl Alcohol: Metabolic Impact
• Ethyl alcohol most closely resembles a carbohydrate
• It has caloric value, and is a common dietary component of alcoholic
beverages
• Each gram of alcohol yields 7kcal of energy
– May account for 10% of total energy intake in moderate consumers
– May account for 50% of total energy intake in alcoholics.
• Ethanol is absorbed throughout the digestive tract and is transported
in the blood.
• It is then oxidatively degraded, mostly in the liver, to acetaldehyde
and then to acetate. Acetate eventually is converted to acetylcoA
– Alcohol dehydrogenase
– MEOS or cytochrome P-450
– catalase
ethanol + NAD+ ----> acetaldehyde + NADH
Acetaldehyde is toxic
reactive with amino groups and may interact with proteins
competes for the plasma carrier of pyridoxal (vitamin B6)
acetaldehyde + NAD+ ----> acetic acid + NADH
Acetic acid can lead to acidosis
Because the two reactions require NAD+, NADH can build up. What problems
might this cause?
anaerobic metabolism to regenerate NAD+
lack of pyruvate for gluconeogenesis - hypoglycemia
