Glucose and the paths
A read of this page, with the plate.



Glucose first. Then fat. Protein last — building, not fuel, until starvation wastes muscle. All paths can meet acetyl-CoA and Krebs. Ketones if glucose is short and fat is used too quick — acetone on the breath as her picture. DKA belongs with a physician. A diabetic child: you stop. ACTH speeds. Thyroxin with rubidium as a name. Insulin slows — Course 12. Artificial sweet as a picture that can call insulin with no glucose behind it. Feelings, not a grocery protocol. Carnitine sits next hour.
Her voice, from the class.
Glucose and the paths — glucose, fat, protein to Krebs
Practice
Walk glucose, fat, ketones, protein last. If the breath is acetone and a meter is in the room, you stop.
Check
Glucose on 28-8 is:
- Stored in neurons
- Six carbons — the brain’s first fuel; neurons do not store it ✓
- Carnitine
A sugar is a letter.
Down to acetyl-CoA is:
- A dose you write
- Glucose to G6P to GAP to pyruvic to acetyl-CoA to Krebs — a cascade ✓
- The tree
28-9.
Carnitine on the fuel hour:
- Dosed tonight
- Waits one hour — fats named, escort sits next ✓
- Is acetone
The wait.
Ketones on this hour:
- A prescription
- If fat is used too quick, ketones build and blood goes acid ✓
- PQQ
That's the work.
Acetone on the breath:
- A dose you write
- Her picture — DKA belongs with a physician ✓
- The clocks
The stop.
The clocks on this hour:
- Medulla and pons
- ACTH speeds; thyroxin with rubidium; insulin slows fats into glucose ✓
- Krebs fatigue reprinted
That's the work.
Protein last means:
- Burned first
- Deaminated — carbon skeleton to acetyl-CoA; building first, burned last ✓
- Glucose
Starvation wastes muscle.
Artificial sweet on this hour:
- A grocery protocol
- A picture that can call insulin with no glucose behind it — feeling ✓
- Acetyl-CoA
That's the work.
A diabetic child with ketones:
- You prescribe carnitine
- You stop — DKA belongs with a physician ✓
- You wait for 28-10
The stop.
Asks 03–10 as the reused block:
- Stay
- Cut — none of them said glucose, acetyl-CoA, or ketone ✓
- Become FAD
Path’s cut.
