| Question | Answer |
| Liver- Glucose Transporter (And why) | GLUT2- So that glucose only enters when glucose is high (say after a meal) and glycogen must be made |
| Liver- Glucose | Made into glycogen/pyruvate |
| Liver- Pyruvate | Made into F.A's through Acetyl CoA |
| Liver- Acetyl CoA | Used to make TAGs or enters the TCA cycle |
| Liver- Glycerol | Used to make TAG's |
| Liver- TAG's | Leave the liver as VLDLs to provide sustenance for other cells |
| Muscle- Glucose Transporter | 4, so glucose is available at all time |
| Muscle- Glucose | Used to make glycogen, or converted to pyruvate |
| Muscle- Pyruvate | Used for the TCA cycle (nothing else) |
| Muscle- Amino Acids | Used to make protein (to build muscle) or Acetyl CoA for the TCA cycle |
| Muscle- LPL | For the breakdown of VLDLs/Chylomicrons for Acetyl CoA |
| Adipose Tissue- Glucose Receptor | 4- affected most by insulin, bc fat generation depends on state of body |
| Adipose Tissue- Glucose | Made into Glycerol-3-phosphate for fat generation, or into pyruvate |
| Adipose Tissue- Pyruvate | For acetyl CoA, for TAG generation and the TCA cycle |
| Adipose Tissue- LPL | Grabs F.As from VLDLs/Chylomicrons to make TAGs |
| Brain Tissue- Glucose Transporters | 1 & 3- most sensitive to glucose since the brain can't use anything else |
| Brain Tissue- Glucose | Acetyl CoA for the TCA cycle. No exceptions that they've taught us |
