This document reviews basic metabolic principles including:
1. ATP is the primary energy currency of cells and is generated through catabolic pathways and utilized in anabolic pathways. Other energy carriers include NADH, FADH2, and phosphate compounds.
2. Coenzymes such as coenzyme A help transfer chemical groups during reactions and some are derived from vitamins. Metabolic pathways are regulated by products and cellular energy levels.
3. Enzymes are classified based on the reactions they catalyze such as kinases, dehydrogenases, and transferases.

Most dietary carbohydrates are polymers of hexoses,primarily glucose, galactose and fructose.
Glucose is stored in its phosphorylated form glucose-6-phosphate; the formation of which in muscles is catalyzed by hexokinase, and in the liver by glucokinase.
Glucokinase is important because its activity is stimulated by insulin and its activity reduced in starvation, and glucokinase has no stronger affinity for glucose than hexokinase.

Intro to Pathways
• Identify the functions
• Identify the overall starting materials and
products
• Compartmentation
• Aerobic or anaerobic
• Catabolic or Anabolic
Glycolysis
(Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway)
• Glycolytic endpoints - depending on which cell and
conditions, glucose metabolism results in the production of
ethanol, lactate and CO2, H2O via pyruvate
• This is the predominant fate of glucose in mammalian
cells
• Limited potential energy w/o O2 . Captured as ATP
• Pathway is found in all cells of the body
• This is primarily a cytosolic pathway
• Net reaction:
Glucose + 2 ADP +2 Pi + 2 NAD+ <-> 2 Pyruvate + 2 ATP + 2
NADH
Glycolysis
Predominant fate of glucose in
mammalian cells;
ATP production under
anaerobic conditions.
Cytosolic
Pathway is found in all cells of
the body.
In red blood cells, this is the
ATP producing pathway since
they have no mitochondria.
• Gluconeogenesis - Generation of glucose
from noncarbohydrate precursors
– The principle noncarbohydrate precursors of glucose
are lactate, pyruvate, citric acid cycle intermediates
and most of the standard amino acids.
– Main function is to make glucose to release into
circulation to maintain proper blood glucose levels.
– Triggered by low blood glucose levels
–
• Overall reaction (example)
• 2 pyruvate + 4 ATP + 2 GTP + 2 NADH + 6 H2O
Glucose + 4 ADP + 2 GDP + 6 Pi + 2 NAD+ + 2 H+
Gluconeogenesis
Starts with pyruvate
Synthesis of glucose from
noncarbohydrate precursors.
Takes place in the liver and kidney
only.
The first reaction is mitochondrial
and the rest are cytosolic.
Stimulated when blood glucose
levels are low. This triggers
glucagon release which stimulates
this pathway.
Pentose Phosphate Pathway
• 3 glucose 6 P + 6 NADP+ + 3 H2O
6 NADPH + 6 H+ + 3 CO2 + 3 Ribulose 5 P.
NADPH is the biological reducing agent
required for biosynthetic processes.
Also required for the cells to deal with
oxidative stress.
• Cytosolic
• Many tissues (especially liver, mammary
gland, adipose tissue and adrenal cortex)
Glycogenesis (glycogen synthesis) and
glycogenolysis (glycogen breakdown)
• Glycogenesis
– Addition of glucose units to pre-existing
glycogen molecules, using UDP-glucose as
activated glucose donor
– Triggered by high blood glucose levels
Glycogenesis (glycogen synthesis) and
glycogenolysis (glycogen breakdown)
• Glycogenolysis
– Release of glucose as glucose-phosphate from
stored glycogen molecules
– Triggered by low blood glucose levels
Mitochondria – pathways that require O2
• Pyruvate Dehydrogenase complex
• Citric acid cycle
(TCA, tricarboxylic acid cycle)
• Electron transport coupled to oxidative
phosphorylation
• Overall aerobic catabolism
Glucose + 6 O2 6 CO2 + 6 H2O
• Fatty acid beta oxidation
Pyruvate Dehydrogenase
• The aerobic utilization of pyruvate
produced in glycolysis.

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
1. Review of Basic Metabolic Principles
A. Energy Currency of the Cell
Metabolic pathways can be classified as either:
• energy generating (catabolic)…or
• energy utilizing (anabolic)
The cell also uses two types of energy currency:
1. Phosphate anhydrides (compounds with high
phosphate transfer potential)
General: hydrolysis of a phosphate ester

2. Free Energies of hydrolysis of some phosphorylated
compounds
Compound ΔG°’ (kcal/mol)
Phosphoenolpyruvate -14.8
Carbamoyl phosphate -12.3
Acetyl phosphate -10.3
Creatine phosphate -10.3
Pyrophosphate -8.0
ATP (to ADP) -7.3
Glucose 1-phosphate -5.0
Glucose 6-phosphate -3.3
Glycerol 3-phosphate -2.2
ATP is the most commonly used compound with
high phosphate transfer potential
• phosphoenolpyruvate & creatine phosphate
have enough energy to synthesize ATP
• ATP can be used to synthesize glucose 6-
phosphate & similar compounds
GTP is sometimes used in place of ATP
3. ATP is called the energy currency of the cell
Catabolism Anabolism
O2
Foods ATP
CO2 + H2O [Energy]
Work
Heat
Biosynthesis
Definitions:
• catabolism is the production of energy from
food
• anabolism is the utilization of energy to provide
heat, do work, or drive biosynthetic reactions
2. Reducing equivalents (compounds with high
electron transfer potential)
Foods → NADH and FADH2 → ATP for Biosynthesis
The reducing equivalents in the foods we eat…
• are transferred to NADH and FADH2
• NADH and FADH2 transfer their electrons to
the electron transport chain which..
• uses the energy in those electrons to synthesize
ATP
4. Based on what you already know, you might predict
that:
• catabolic pathways produce NADH, FADH2, &
ATP
• anabolic pathways utilize ATP, NADH, & FADH2
However, that’s not quite true. In reality:
• catabolic pathways produce NADH, FADH2, &
ATP
• anabolic pathways utilize ATP, NADPH, & FADH2
B. Coenzymes
1. Definition
Coenzymes are small molecular weight
compounds that are:
a. necessary for the catalytic activity of
one or more enzymes
b. present in very small amounts compared
to the substrates of the enzyme
c. used over & over in a catalytic manner
• most coenzymes exist free in solution
• some coenzymes are bound to proteins
= prosthetic groups
5. 2. Coenzymes carry some biologically important
chemical group in an “activated” (high energy)
form so that it can be used in biosynthetic
reactions
Example = coenzyme A (carries acyl groups)
O
CH3 C
SCoA + H20
