| Concept | Definition |
| maple sugar urine disease | inability to break down branch-chain amino acids; urine is dark, sweet |
| insulin | anabolic; will decrease blood sugar levels |
| 2 ways to decrease blood sugar levels | 1.glycolysis; 2.glycogenesis |
| glucagon | catabolic; will increase blood sugar levels |
| 2 ways to increase blood sugar levels | 1.gluconeogenesis; 2.glycogenolysis |
| cholesterol biosymphsis | Acetyl-CoA (HMG-CoA Synthetase) to HMG-CoA (HMG-CoA reductase - rate limiting) to Mevalonate to Squalene to Cholesterol (neg. feedbak loop back to HMG-CoA) |
| Catacholine Synthesis | phenyline (phenylalanine hydroxylase) to tyrosine to L-dopa to dopamine to epinephrine to norepinephrine |
| Number of Essential Amino Acids | 2 |
| End products of Glycolysis | 2 lactate; 2 ATPs |
