Liver is the pivot of carbohydrate metabolism of the whole body. The presence of glucose-6-phosphatase in the [...]
The following points highlight the six main processes for metabolism of carbohydrates in mammalian organism. The processes are: 1. Glycogenesis 2. Glycogenolysis 3. Glycolysis 4. Citric Acid Cycle In Mitochondri 5. Neoglucogenesis 6. Hexose Monophosphate Shunt. Carbohydrate Metabolism Process # 1. Glycogenesis: a. Glucose is first phosphorylated to glucose- 6-phosphate by the enzyme hexokinase and glucokinase in presence of the [...]
