Pentose PO4 Pathway, Fructose, Galactose Metabolism.Pptx
Pentose PO4 pathway, Fructose, galactose metabolism The Entner Doudoroff pathway begins with hexokinase producing Glucose 6 PO4 , but produce only one ATP. This pathway prevalent in anaerobes such as Pseudomonas, they doe not have a Phosphofructokinase. The pentose phosphate pathway (also called the phosphogluconate pathway and the hexose monophosphate shunt) is a biochemical pathway parallel to glycolysis that generates NADPH and pentoses. While it does involve oxidation of glucose, its primary role is anabolic rather than catabolic. There are two distinct phases in the pathway. The first is the oxidative phase, in which NADPH is generated, and the second is the non-oxidative synthesis of 5-carbon sugars. For most organisms, the pentose phosphate pathway takes place in the cytosol. For each mole of glucose 6 PO4 metabolized to ribulose 5 PO4, 2 moles of NADPH are produced. 6-Phosphogluconate dh is not only an oxidation step but it’s also a decarboxylation reaction. The primary results of the pathway are: The generation of reducing equivalents, in the form of NADPH, used in reductive biosynthesis reactions within cells (e.g. fatty acid synthesis). Production of ribose-5-phosphate (R5P), used in the synthesis of nucleotides and nucleic acids. Production of erythrose-4-phosphate (E4P), used in the synthesis of aromatic amino acids. Transketolase and transaldolase reactions are similar in that they transfer between carbon chains, transketolases 2 carbon units or transaldolases 3 carbon units. Regulation; Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is the rate- controlling enzyme of this pathway. It is allosterically stimulated by NADP+. The ratio of NADPH:NADP+ is normally about 100:1 in liver cytosol. -

Part 1 in Our Series of Carbohydrate Lectures. in This Section, You Will Learn About Monosaccharide Structure
Welcome to Part 1 in our series of Carbohydrate lectures. In this section, you will learn about monosaccharide structure. The building blocks of larger carbohydrate polymers. 1 First, let’s review why learning about carbohydrates is important. Carbohydrates are used by biological systems as fuels and energy resources. Carbohydrates typically provide quick energy and are one of the primary energy storage forms in animals. Carbohydrates also provide the precursors to other major macromolecules within the body, including the deoxyribose and ribose required for nucleic acid biosynthesis. Carbohydrates can also provide structural support and cushioning/shock absorption, as well as cell‐cell communication, identification, and signaling. 2 Carbohydrates, as their name implies, are water hydrates of carbon, and they all have the same basic core formula (CH2O)n and are always found in the ratio of 1 carbon to 2 hydrogens to 1 oxygen (1:2:1) making them easy to identify from their molecular formula. 3 Carbohydrates can be divided into subcategories based on their complexity. The simplest carbohydrates are the monosaccharides which are the simple sugars required for the biosynthesis of all the other carbohydrate types. Disaccharides consist of two monosaccharides that have been joined together by a covalent bond called the glycosidic bond. Oligosaccharides are polymers that consist of a few monosaccharides covalently linked together, and Polysaccharides are large polymers that contain hundreds to thousands of monosaccharide units all joined together by glycosidic bonds. The remainder of this lecture will focus on monosaccharides 4 Monosaccharides all have alcohol functional groups associated with them. In addition they also have one additional functional group, either an aldehyde or a ketone. -

Carbohydrates: Disaccharides and Polysaccharides
Carbohydrates: Disaccharides and Polysaccharides Disaccharides Linkage of the anomeric carbon of one monosaccharide to the OH of another monosaccharide via a condensation reaction. The bond is termed a glycosidic bond. The end of the disaccharide that contains the anomeric carbon is referred to as the reducing end because it is capable of reducing various metal ions. Formation of a glycosidic bond between two glucose molecules. Nomenclature: To describe disaccharides you need to specify the following: 1. The names of the two monosaccharides. 2. How they are linked together (one anomeric is always used). 3. The configuration of the anomeric carbons on both monosaccharides. The Six Simple Rules for Naming Disaccharides are as follows: 1. The non-reducing end defines the first sugar. 2. Configuration of the anomeric carbon of the 1st sugar (α,β). 3. Name of 1st monosaccharide, root name followed by pyranosyl (6- ring) or furanosyl (5-ring). 4. Atoms which are linked together, 1st sugar then 2nd sugar. 5. Configuration of the anomeric carbon of the second sugar (α,β) (often omitted if the anomeric carbon is free since α and β forms are in equilibrium.) 6. Name of 2nd monosaccharide, root name followed by pyranose (6- ring) or furanose (5-ring) (If both anomeric carbons are involved, then the name ends in ‘oside”, not ‘ose’) Example: Sucrose (table sugar): The anomeric carbon of glucose forms a bridge to the anomeric carbon of fructose. Since there is no reducing end, either sugar can be used to begin the name. Sucrose, drawn in two different ways. Note that both anomeric carbons are involved in the glycosidic linkage, thus both conformations have to be specified. -
Structures and Characteristics of Carbohydrates in Diets Fed to Pigs: a Review Diego M
Navarro et al. Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology (2019) 10:39 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40104-019-0345-6 REVIEW Open Access Structures and characteristics of carbohydrates in diets fed to pigs: a review Diego M. D. L. Navarro1, Jerubella J. Abelilla1 and Hans H. Stein1,2* Abstract The current paper reviews the content and variation of fiber fractions in feed ingredients commonly used in swine diets. Carbohydrates serve as the main source of energy in diets fed to pigs. Carbohydrates may be classified according to their degree of polymerization: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. Digestible carbohydrates include sugars, digestible starch, and glycogen that may be digested by enzymes secreted in the gastrointestinal tract of the pig. Non-digestible carbohydrates, also known as fiber, may be fermented by microbial populations along the gastrointestinal tract to synthesize short-chain fatty acids that may be absorbed and metabolized by the pig. These non-digestible carbohydrates include two disaccharides, oligosaccharides, resistant starch, and non-starch polysaccharides. The concentration and structure of non-digestible carbohydrates in diets fed to pigs depend on the type of feed ingredients that are included in the mixed diet. Cellulose, arabinoxylans, and mixed linked β-(1,3) (1,4)-D-glucans are the main cell wall polysaccharides in cereal grains, but vary in proportion and structure depending on the grain and tissue within the grain. Cell walls of oilseeds, oilseed meals, and pulse crops contain cellulose, pectic polysaccharides, lignin, and xyloglucans. Pulse crops and legumes also contain significant quantities of galacto-oligosaccharides including raffinose, stachyose, and verbascose. -

Edwards 1 and Douglas J. Morrison 2,* 1 School of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing, College of Medical Veterinary and Life Sciences, University of Glasgow, Glasgow G31 2ER, UK; [email protected] (H.C.H.); [email protected] (C.A.E.) 2 Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre, University of Glasgow, Glasgow G75 0QF, UK * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +44-135-527-0134 Received: 17 October 2016; Accepted: 22 December 2016; Published: 1 January 2017 Abstract: Short chain fatty acids (SCFA) are the major products of carbohydrate fermentation by gut bacteria. Different carbohydrates are associated with characteristic SCFA profiles although the mechanisms are unclear. The individual SCFA profile may determine any resultant health benefits. Understanding determinants of individual SCFA production would enable substrate choice to be tailored for colonic SCFA manipulation. To test the hypothesis that the orientation and position of the glycosidic bond is a determinant of SCFA production profile, a miniaturized in vitro human colonic batch fermentation model was used to study a range of isomeric glucose disaccharides. Diglucose α(1-1) fermentation led to significantly higher butyrate production (p < 0.01) and a lower proportion of acetate (p < 0.01) compared with other α bonded diglucoses. Diglucose β(1-4) also led to significantly higher butyrate production (p < 0.05) and significantly increased the proportions of propionate and butyrate compared with diglucose α(1-4) (p < 0.05). -
