Carbohydrate Metabolism

Von Kevin Ahern, PhD

The generation of energy by breaking down carbohydrates is as old as cells themselves. Carbohydrates are the most important substrate for the synthesis of ATP via glycolysis, so much so that hepatocytes have the ability to synthesize glucose de novo to meet metabolic needs. Furthermore, glucose can be stored in the form of long polymers (glycogen) to make glucose available in the long term.

In this course, the student will be led on a detailed walkthrough of the glycolysis pathway, the steps of gluconeogenesis, and the metabolism of glycogen. Metabolic pathways will be a constant topic of discussion, and the pentose phosphate pathway will be among the most prominent to be discussed. Cellular respiration will also be included in the discussion, touching on the citric acid and glyoxylate cycles.

For optimal comprehension, the student will be required to have familiarity with the basic notions of molecular and cellular biology and the biochemistry of carbohydrates.

Great Lecturer..well explained. Every section of lectures are meticulously explained. Clearly understood.

 
Excellent help for Medical Biochemistryl course
von Anna M. am 27. Januar 2023 für Carbohydrate Metabolism

Clear and understandable concept with actual molecules shown aswell which is very helpful.

 
teaching method is boring and not helpful for my mind to understand
von Enarah R. am 04. Dezember 2022 für Pathway Overview and Reactions – Part 1

not explned wel as the topic is difficult and you made it a lot much boring
