Muscle glycogen supplies energy during
muscle contraction.
Glycogenesis
It is the synthesis of glycogen from glucose.
Tissue : Liver & muscle
Intracellular site : Cytosol
Requirements : Glycogen primer

It is the degradation of glycogen stored in
liver and muscle to glucose.

Regulation of glycogen metabolism

Glycogenolysis….!!!!
Regulation of glycogen metabolism
Glycogenesis and gluconeogenesis are controlled
by the enzymes glycogen synthase and glycogen

phosphorylase.
Regulation of these enzymes is accomplished by 2
mechanisms

1.Covalent modification
-brought about by Hormones
2. Allosteric regulation.
-brought about by substrates
Regulation of glycogen metabolism...
glycogen synthase and glycogen
phosphorylase are said to be
RECIPROCALLY REGULATED
That is, when one enzyme is active, the other
one is inactive.
RECIPROCALLY REGULATION is brought about
by hormones, by COVALENT MODIFICATION
OF THE 2 ENZYMES.
COVALENT MODIFICATION OF
THE 2 ENZYMES
-Addition or removal of a group (phosphate
group) makes the enzyme either active or
inactive.

glycogen phosphorylase is active in
PHOSPHORYLATED Form. (inactive in
dephoshorylated form)
glycogen synthase is active in
DEPHOSPHORYLATED Form. (inactive in
dephoshorylated form)
Hormonal regulation
-mainly by 3 hormones;
1. epinephrine
in fasting state

Glycogen storage disorders

These are a group of genetic disease that result from
a defect in an enzyme required for glycogen
synthesis or degradation .
The enzymes defect may be either generalized
(affecting all tissues) or tissue-specific
(liver, muscle, kidney, intestine, myocardium)
They result in either formation of glycogen that has an
abnormal structure or the accumulation of excessive
amounts of normal glycogen in specific tissues.

Gluconeogenesis
Gluconeogenesis
Definition
The synthesis of glucose from non –
carbohydrate substrates.
Substrates
lactate
Glycerol
Glucogenic amino acids
Propionate
Sites:
Liver (90%) kidney (10%)
Sub cellular sites:
Partly mitochondrial & partly cytosolic
Significance of gluconeogenesis
1.Maintenance of blood glucose,when glycogen
stores are depleted.
-Tissues such as brain , RBC , require a
continous supply of glucose as a source of
energy . Liver glycogen meets these needs for
12-18 hrs .As the glycogen stores starts
depleting, gluconeogenesis ensures
continous supply of glucose to tissues .
2. removes the products of metabolism eg;
lactate produced in the muscle , propionate and
glycerol.
Death from alcohol overdose is due to
hypoglycemia due to reduced
gluconeogenesis!!!
Characteristics
Glycolysis and gluconeogenesis share the
same pathway but in opposite direction.

Gluconeogenesis utilizes all the seven
enzymes of glycolysis catalyzing reversible
reactions

Gluconeogenesis also utilizes four special
enzymes (the so called key enzymes of
gluconeogenesis) for catalyzing the reversal of
the three irreversible reactions of glycolysis
Glucose- 6- phosphatase is only present in
liver and kidney but not in the muscle. Thus
muscle cannot provide blood glucose by
gluconeogenesis.
Reactions of gluconeogenesis
1. Carboxylation of pyruvate to oxaloacetate
2. Transport of oxaloacetate to cytosol
3. Decarboxylation of cytosolic oxaloacetate
to phospho enol pyruvate (PEP).
4. Dephosphorylation of fructose -1,6bisphosphate to fructose-6- phosphate
5. Dephosphorylation of glucose -6phosphate to glucose
