Document Summary

Lecture 14: glycogen metabolism & lactose synthesis, hexose metabolism. Liver"s glycogen are stores for the whole body, can liberate and send to other parts of the body. Liver can synthesize glucose by gluconeogenesis or by glycogen breakdown. Glycogen synthase & glycogen phosphorylase are the major key points: phosphorylase is technically reversible but high concentraions of phosphate cause that to not occur oten. G6p can override hormonal control of udp-glc glycogen: good for high protein diet, etc. Atp and amp decide if anything is burnt, low energy signal.
