- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What is type 1 diabetes mellitus?
* Insulin-dependent diabetes
What is type 2 diabetes mellitus?
Which pathways contribute to insulin resistance?
Mitochondria are not capable of processing all of the fatty acids by B oxidation; fatty acids accumulate in the mitochondria and eventually spill over into the cytoplasm. They reincorporate into triacylglycerols.
How does ATP depended insulin release work?
What is the molecular mechanism behind type 1 diabetes?
Insulin is deficient, so the entry of glucose in adipose and muscle cells is impaired.
The liver becomes stuck in a gluconeogenic and ketogenic state.
The excessive level of glucagon relative to that of insulin leads to a decrease in the amount of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, which stimulates glycolysis and inhibits gluconeogenesis.
An excessive amount of glucose is produced by the liver and released into the blood.
Water accompanies the excreted glucose (through urine) so the patient is hungry and thirsty. Because of the ketone body production, the pH also drops.
Why is there ketone production in diabetes?
Large amounts of acetyl CoA are then produced by B oxidation. However, much of acetyl CoA cannot enter the citric acid cycle because there is insufficient oxaloacetate for the condensation step. So the cells generate ketone bodies.
How does muscular activity help to prevent diabetes?
The increase in fatty acid oxidizing capability and additional mitochondria allow for the efficient metabolism of fatty acids. Because an excess of fatty acids results in insulin resistance, efficient metabolism of fatty acids results in an increase in insulin sensitivity.
How is an optimal mix of fuels achieved during a marathon?
- Fatty acids enter muscle, where they are degraded by B oxidation to acetyl CoA and then to CO2.
- The elevated acetyl CoA level decreases the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex to block the conversion of pyruvate into acetyl CoA.
- Fatty acid oxidation decreases the funneling of glucose into the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.
- Glucose is spared so that just enough remains available at the end of the marathon.
How is the blood-glucose concentration kept at or above 4.4 mM during fasting?
2. The release of fatty acids by adipose tissue
3. The shift in the fuel used from glucose to fatty acids by muscle
Describe what happens in the refed state
- The liver does not initially absorb glucose from the blood, but leaves it to other tissues instead. The liver even remains in a gluconeogenic mode. The newly synthesized glucose is used to replenish the liver's glycogen stores. As the blood-glucose concentration continues to rise, the liver completes the replenishment of its glycogen stores and begins to process the remaining glucose for fatty acid synthesis.
What are the dominant metabolic processes during starvation?
- Gluconeogenesis by the liver
How do organs yield energy from ketone bodies?
What happens after the depletion of the triacylglycerol stores?
Describe the metabolism of ethanol and what happens to the body after excessive drinking.
Ethanol + NAD+ --> Acetaldehyde + NADH + H+
2. Aldehyde adehydrogenase
Acetaldehyde + NAD+ + H2O --> Acetate + NADH + H+
Ethanol consumption leads to an accumulation of NADH.
- High concentration of NADH inhibits gluconeogenesis by preventing the oxidation of lactate to pyruvate > lactate accumulates > hypoglycemia and lactic acidosis.
- High concentration of NADH inhibits fatty acid oxidation. The excess of NADH signals that conditions are right for fatty acid synthesis > triacyglycerols accumulate in liver > fatty live
- NADH inhibits citric acid regulatory enzymes > accumulation Acetyl CoA > prododuction ketone bodies > acidosis. Buildup acetaldehyde (insufficient processing)
