Title: bio statistics
Description: Biostatistics is the application of statistics or technique to biological studies.all livingthings are expected to express some intra/inter form of diversity and even measures within the same unit may exhibit some form variability this implies that as long there are differences in the observable traits of living things and associated diversity of their various forms and types,there should be need for some specialized set of tools to investigate,anlize,report this variable form.

Metabolism and Regulation of
Intermediary Metabolites
Dr Mick Henderson
Biochemical Genetics
Leeds Teaching Hospitals
Trust

Aim of this presentation
• To discuss principles of metabolic
control
• Outline main metabolic categories
• Discuss co-operation and regulation
between organs and pathways

What is
metabolism?

Intermediary Metabolism
• energy pathways
• biosynthetic pathways
• miscellaneous
– Degradative
– Detoxifying
– Redox

Energy generating pathways









Glycolysis
Gluconeogenesis
Glycogen storage and breakdown
Fatty acid oxidation
Ketone synthesis and metabolism
Amino acid catabolism
Krebb’s cycle
Oxidative phosphorylation

Biosynthetic pathways
E
...

• haem
• neurotransmitters

Miscellaneous pathways
• Urea cycle – detoxifying
• Pentose phosphate pathway –
generates reducing equivalents
• Glutathione synthesis
• Anaplerotic pathways

How is it controlled?
Long term control
• Compartmentation
– Between organs
• e
...
glucose 6 phosphatase expressed in liver but
not muscle

– Within cells
• e
...
acid hydrolases transported to, and activated
within, lysosomes

• Gene expression, varying between tissues
• e
...
enzymes of the urea cycle predominantly
expressed in hepatic cells

• Iso enzymes
• e
...
muscle and liver glycogen synthase, coded for
by distinct genes

Short/medium term control
Gene expression
• Protein synthesis
– e
...
haem is genetic regulator of transcription of
synthetic enzymes

haem synthesis
URO’gen 1
ALA

PBG

HMB

COPRO’gen 1

URO’gen 111

COPRO’gen 111

ALA synthetase
PROTO’gen
allosteric
and synthetic
regulation

HAEM

Short/medium term control
Gene expression
• Protein synthesis

...
haem is genetic regulator of transcription of
synthetic enzymes

Control of rate limiting steps
• Transport across membranes
• Mobilisation from storage
• Controlled by hormones

Rapid control
Direct control of protein, enzyme, action
• Phosphorylation
– e
...
glycogen phosphorylase activation

• Allosteric moderation
– e
...
haem deactivates ALA synthase

• Competitive inhibition
– e

acetyl CoA acetyl transferase is inhib by its product
acetoacetyl CoA (ketone syn)

• Translocation between subcellular locations
