Description
In this course, we will start our journey with the story of carbohydrate digestion and absorption in the intestines. all the way to how our body cells utilize the absorbed monosaccharide units. We will tell the story of how glucose, fructose and galactose are utilized in a well fed state and then what happens when we fast. To teach this in a very interesting manner, we have divided this course into four (4) sections with about fifteen (15) lecture videos all togetherThis course consists of fifteen lectures divided into 4 sections:Introduction to Carbohydrate Metabolism: Overview of Carbohydrate DigestionTransient hyperglycemia and insulin release from the beta cells of the pancreasGlucose TransportersGlucose metabolic pathways, Glycolysis; pathway, regulations and clinicalspyruvate Dehydrogenase; pathway, regulations and clinicalsEnergy Utilization pathwaysCitric Acid Cycle; pathway, regulations and clinicalsElectron Transport Chain; Overview and PathwayClinical Relevance of the Electron Transport ChainGlycogen, Fructose & Galactose MetabolismFructose Metabolism; pathway, regulations and clinicalsGalactose Metabolism; pathway, regulations and clinicalsGlycogenesis and Glycogenolysis; pathway and regulationsGlycogen Storage DiseasesGluconeogenesis, Alcohol Metabolism & Hexose Monophosphate ShuntGluconeogenesis; pathway, regulations and clinicalsAlcohol Metabolism; pathway and clinicalsHexose Monophosphate Shunt, NADPH & G6PD DeficiencyWe will also consider some clinical Multiple Choice Questions Review as it relates to Carbohydrate Metabolism.
