Introduction to metabolic pathways: biosynthesis of ATP. Part 1 ATP: the molecule that powers metabolism; biosynthesis of ATP. Part 2 The respiratory chain, and inhibitors and uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation: the oxidation of cytosolic NADH+H= - the malate/aspartate shuttle, and the glycerol phosphate shuttle; metabolism of glucose to give energy; metabolism of one molecule of glucose to form 38 molecules of ATP; metabolism of glucose to glycogen; anaerobic metabolism of glucose and glycogen to yield energy as ATP; 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG) and the red blood cell; metabolism of glucose to fat (triacylglycerol); metabolism of glucose to fatty acids and triacylglycerol; the pentose phosphate pathway and the production of NADPH+H+; mammals cannot synthesize glucose from fatty acids; metabolism of triacylglycerol to provide energy as ATP; the ornithine cycle for the production of urea - the urea cycle; biosynthesis of the non-essential amino acids; catabolism of amino acids. Part 3 Catabolism of amino acids; metabolism of amino acids to glucose in starvation and during the period immediately after refeeding; metabolism of protein to fat; disorders of amino acid metabolism; amino acid metabolism, folate metabolism, and the l-carbon pool; purine biosynthesis: amino acid metabolism, folate metabolism, and the l-carbon pool; pyramidine biosynthesis: glycogen metabolism; glycogen metabolism; glycogen metabolism; regulation of glycogen breakdown: glycogen synthesis; regulation of glycogen synthesis; regulation of glycolysis; regulation of the Krebs cycle; regulation of gluconeogenesis; regulation of fatty acid oxidation; mobilization of fatty acids from storage in adipose tissue; regulation of fatty acid oxidation; the carnitine shuttle; the ketone bodies; ketone body utilization; B-oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids; peroxisomal B-oxidation; elongation and desaturation of fatty acids; metabolism of ethanol; sorbitol, galactitol, glucuronate and xylitol; fructose metabolism; biochemistry of diabetes.
