Explain Glycolysis
Describe Glycogenolysis
Describe Gluconeogenesis
2- In the Stomach
Salivary amylase acts for short time till the gastric HCL
inhibits the enzyme (due to drop of pH). Small amount of
acid hydrolysis occurs in stomach.
Digestion & Absorption of Carbohydrates
3- In the Small Intestine
Liver does not consume all sugars passing through it, but
a large proportion of these sugars is delivered to systemic
blood in order to be utilized by other tissues.
Oxidation of glucose
A- The Major Pathways for Oxidation
I.Glucokinase(or hexokinase)
II.Phosphofructokinase-1(PFK-1)
III.Pyruvatekinase(PK).
A- The Major Pathways for Oxidation
II- CITRIC ACID CYCLE (Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle or Krebs' Cycle)

2) NADPH
Cholesterol synthesis
Hydroxylation reactions
Glycosaminoglycans(GAGs) synthesis.
their water solubility such as: all steroid hormones and their
following mechanisms:
Classification of DM
deficiency of insulin.
diabetes.
Types of Diabetic Coma
II- Hypoglycemic Coma
medication or insulin.
These drugs are used for type II DM but not for type I DM
oral hypoglycemic drugs are: Drugs that increase insulin
secretion , improve insulin sensitivity or decrease the
intestinal absorption of carbohydrates and fats
Treatment of Diabetes Mellitus
Insulin:
