Concept introduction:
The liver is a large organ that is situated on the right side of the abdomen. Its main functions are the metabolism of fats and proteins, enzyme activation, secretion of hormones and bilirubin, and storage of glycogen, minerals, and vitamins. In the digestion process, it helps by producing bile juice.

Sources of Glucose during Starvation. The typical human adult uses about 160 g of glucose per day, 120 g of which is used by the brain. The available reserve of glucose (~20 g of circulating glucose and ~190 g of glycogen) is adequate for about one day. After the reserve has been depleted during starvation, how would the body obtain more glucose?
Fill in the blanks. Acetaminophen toxicity can occur at high doses in the liver. because ___________ (what type of molecules?) can become saturated and other routes of metabolism take over.Please explain to me what the correct molecule(?) is and why it is correct. I understand that the glucuronidation and sulfation conjugation pathways become saturated, but am not understanding what molecule(s) it is/are that is/are becoming saturated leading to the other routes of metabolism and acetaminophen toxicity.
In briefly give.
What is hepatotoxicity and why is it serious?

Before vigorous exercise (at rest) the level of blood lactate is at its normal level (about 25 mM).

Following a physician recommendation, an overweight man, 40 years old, decided to start a healthy lifestyle: daily running for an hour, fat consumption reduction up to 20 g in a day, as well as a reduced amount of fast carbohydrates». In result, he lost 2.5 kg of his body weight during the following two weeks. What metabolic pathway must be accelerated to cause such fat accumulation drop in this man? Answer the questions and do the following tasks: a) what is an adult norm for fat and carbohydrates daily consumption? b) draw the scheme, showing the influence of persistent physical exercising on fat metabolism in adipocytes; c) draw the scheme of the metabolic pathway, where products of lipolysis are used in skeletal muscles during persistent physical exercise.arrow_forward
