5. In Type 2 diabetes, the connection between insulin signaling and regulation of glycogen synthesis is lost. Select ONE ENZYME

involved in regulation of glycogen metabolism by insulin or glucagon that you think would be a good target for activation or inhibition as a Type 2 diabetes treatment. Explain in five (5) sentences or less: a. Which enzyme you have chosen and why you have chosen it, b. Whether you would aim to activate or inhibit it, and rationale for this choice.

Answer:

See blow

Explanation:

a and b) Metformine inhibits the enzime glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. This enzime catalyzes the conversion of glycerol phosphate to dihidrocetone phosphate. This decreases the concentration of NAD on the cytosol, and the realation NADH/NAD increases in this comparment, and decreases on the mitochondria, which restricts the conversion of lactate to pyruvate, preventing the use of the substracts to the gluconeogenesis.

The metabolic fate of fatty acids is dependent on two enzymes, carnitine acyltransferase i and acetyl-coa carboxylase. carnitine
zvonat [6]

The correct answer is the last statement.

If the regulatory serine is mutated to alanine, then acetyl-CoA carboxylase will get activated spontaneously and will produce malonyl-CoA. The increased concentrations of malonyl-CoA will obstruct the oxidation of fatty acids by preventing the entry of fatty acids into the mitochondria.

It is because the AMP-activated protein kinase phosphorylates the serine residues of acetyl-CoA carboxylase to inactivate it. If a mutation occurs in such residues, then the AMPL cannot phosphorylate acetyl-CoA carboxylase and this enzyme will get activated spontaneously.

In such a situation, there will be more than sufficient production of malonyl-CoA, which will inhibit the admittance of more fatty acid getting inside the mitochondria; this will indirectly prevent the oxidation of fatty acids.
