16.

The increase in the intracellular concentration of AMP in muscle after 15 minutes of strenuous exercise has which of the following effects?









A

)

Increased activity of adenylyl cyclase





B

)

Increased breakdown of glycogen





C

)

Increased release of insulin





D

) Inhibition of PFK phosphofructokinase activity



E

)

Inhibition of pyruvate kinase activity





B??

wats the answer plzzz...

  #5

B. Increased breakdown of glycogen

  #6

i think the answer is increased activity of adenyl cyclase

b)Increased breakdown of glycogen?

Glycogenolysis


A glycosyl (glucose) molecule is split off the glycogen, a Pi is added, and glucose-6-phosphate is formed. Note that this does not require any energy (ATP) input

During high-intensity exercise, glycogen supplies most of the glucose units breakdown of muscle glycogen is controlled by phosphorylase a through a series of events initially started by Ca2+ and increased [Pi] . [Pi] is an important stimulator of glycogenolysis.

However, other unknown modulators are also involved.

EPI (Epinephrine) activates Adenylate Cyclase which stimulates "cAMP" production and glycogenolysis...
+ cAMP, Ca2+, ADP, AMP, IMP, Pi

phosphorylase b (inactive) <======> phosphorylase a (active)

-- ATP, G-6-P, H+


Activation of phosphorylase a inactivates glycogen synthase
