69 views14 pages

Document Summary

Sept. 9 & 11, 2015: fdg-pet scan, glycolysis: 1 glucose = 2 atp, mitochondria: 1 glucose = 39 atp, must increase glucose uptake to increase atp - done by tumour cells, taking glucose against its concentration gradient. Sept. 9 & 11, 2015: passive transport. Glucose transporters: blood glucose is 5 mm and the glucose concentration in cells is lower due to glucose metabolism. Why so many: expression of different genes in different tissues allows the transport to be tailored to the needs of that tissue. Sept. 9 & 11, 2015: tissues often have more than one transporter for glucose, and their relative functions are controlled by the level of expression, it also allows specificity for the sugars. To trap glucose inside the cell (phosphorylated compounds do not transport. This allows to take in glucose as needed without the expenditure of atp. To keep the concentration of glucose in the cytoplasm low to allow more glucose.
