In this article we will discuss about the interrelations between carbohydrates and lipid metabolisms. Transformation of Carbohydrates into Lipids: In most animals and in man, when dietary carbohydrates are in excess, the oxidation of a part of glucose maintains relatively high concentrations of ATP, NADH and NADPH; this will promote: i. The synthesis of glycogen from glucose, which requires UTP [...]
In this article we will discuss about the Interrelationship in the Metabolism of Protein, Fat and Carbohydrate: 1. Necessity for Metabolism of Protein Fat and Carbohydrate 2. Necessity of Glucose for the Brain and Erythrocytes 3. Necessity of Continual Supply of Fuel during Starvation. Necessity for Metabolism of Protein, Fat and Carbohydrate: 1. Pyruvate i s converted to acetyl-CoA which [...]
In this article we will discuss about the interrelationship of the different cell membrane. It is generally believed that a close structural and functional relationship exists between the different membrane systems of the cell (Fig. 3-15). Some authors have proposed a terminology for the different membranes viz. Novikoff has suggested GERL indicating close functional relationship between Golgi Complex (G), ER [...]
