    0:00 - Glycolysis
    0:29 - Pyruvate to Acetyl-CoA by PDC (pyruvate dehydrogenase complex)
    0:43 - Krebs Cycle, Citric Acid Cycle
    1:11 - Central Metabolism
    1:29 - Why go through central metabolism? ATP!!
    1:53 - Reduced cofactors (more ATP through ETC) → ATPs for cells to survive
    2:19 - Other monosaccharides can enter central metabolism
    2:57 - What about Proteins (amino acids)? Glucogenic & Ketogenic AAs
    4:23 - Excess nitrogens → Urea Cycle (in Liver)
    5:58 - What about Fatty Acids? Beta-Oxidation (reduced cofactors & acetyl-CoA produced)
    7:13 - Reversible Glycolysis → Gluconeogenesis
    7:35 - Irreversible Reaction: Pyruvate to Acetyl-CoA
    7:52 - Gluconeogenesis (genesis of new glucose molecules)
    8:15 - Sources of carbons for glucose (for gluconeogenesis): lactate, glycerol
    9:00 - Alpha-keto acids as a source of carbons for glucose? NOPE (Acetyl-CoA enters TCA cycle)
    9:31 - Can we take proteins/amino acids to form glucose? Depends (Glucogenic vs. Ketogenic AAs)
    12:05 - Using fatty acids to form glucose? Acetyl-CoA? No, BUT last 3-carbon molecules can be converted to glucose
    12:40 - Importance of Acetyl-CoA (for fatty acid synthesis, phospholipids, triacylglycerides)
    13:37 - Fed State (excess carbs & proteins stored as triacylglycerides)
    15:04 - Serine + Palmitic Acid → sphingosine backbone → cerimide → sphingomyelin/cerebroside/ganglioside)
    16:05 - Fasted State (breakdown of triacylglycerides)
    16:54 - Fasted State (ketogenesis in liver): 3 Acetyl Co-A molecules converted to HMG-CoA
    17:33 - Why forming ketoacids? (ketolysis: ketoacids to acetyl-CoA to enter TCA Cycle)
    18:15 - HMG-CoA can be converted to Isoprene → build larger molecules (Fed State)
    19:07 - Biosynthesis of Cholesterol
    19:26 - Cholesterol used to create hormones
    20:16 - Biosynthesis of amino acids
    22:09 - Importance of Serine (Folate cycle, Methionine cycle; SAM - universal methyl donor)
    23:20 - PAPS (universal sulfur donor)
    23:55 - Glycosylation (monosaccharides from intermediates of glycolysis)
    25:32 - Pentose Phosphate Pathway (PPP)
    25:50 - NADPH cofactors - electron donor to build bond during anabolism
    26:14 - Reduced glutathione (endogenous anti-oxidant)
    27:21 - Free radicals produced from ETC
    28:46 - Biosynthesis of nucleic acids
    30:02 - Degradation of nucleic acids
    30:47 - Biosynthesis of nuerotransmitters
    32:05 - Biosynthesis of porphyrin ring (used for hemoglobin, myoglobin, cytochrome, ETC)
    32:44 - Big picture - see the forest! (links in the description box for each pathway in detail)
    33:22 - Limitations to central metabolism: Essential Vitamins (must be obtained from diet)
    34:04 - Essential Minerals (must be obtained from diet)
    34:42 - Our limitations to central metabolism - final note
    El fin! Now go get that 528 you guys 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

    Not ONE college-level textbook ever explained the relationship between cellular metabolism all in one scoop. sure they gave you ONE diagram with vague descriptions, but they never connected it as a whole mechanism like you. It's really easier to understand the role of cellular respiration taking into consideration proteins/fatty acids/and sugars. THANK YOU SO MUCH for the time and dedication to this video, you explained all these really way and simplified (w/o dumbing it down) :)

Esp for those prepping for professional school exams. Biochem needs to be taught by people like you who can help students make meaning and relevance out of them. Without this simplification and connection to the cell as a whole, Biochem becomes unnecessarily complex, irrelevant, and difficult. Thank you sir. You are great.

      Acetyl coa has 2 carbons it could theoretically donate for the production of glucose molecules.. however, once acetyl coa enters krebs, very quickly both of those carbons are lost as CO2 and are breathed out of the body.. does that make sense? So the carbons are lost in decarboxylation reactions before they could have ever been used as carbons for the production of glucose molecules

    Awesome videos. Just wish you would crop out the “undo paint stroke” portion, i can’t stop looking at that instead of your lecture.

    Feel like some things aren’t specified properly, the nitrogen group on the amino acids for urea cycle are ammonia. Which is important as this gives understanding to the enzymes involved and what deficiencies within the cycle will cause

      Can I ask, was there a particular time stamp point where I said something that was explicitly inaccurate?

    Great video I wish the quality and resolution little bit better so I can zoom in the video my eyes aren't that great .

    There are a few errors I’ve noticed in the first 10 minutes of this video- there are irreversible steps during glycolysis (Steps 1, 3, and 10) that must be circumvented for gluconeogenesis to take place. Additionally, at 11:25 , acetyl-CoA goes through the cycle two times before it’s lost as CO2 during the third time (as proven by isotopic studies). I haven’t watched the entire video, but don’t you think it would be helpful to include the enzyme names?

      Those steps are in fact reversible and that's why we can do gluconeogensis in the first place, we do need to use different enzymes using free energy from ATP to bypass those steps.. but I chose to not list enzymes because the purpose of this video was to show how different pathways interact with one another (with the individual links below providing more in-depth details of enzyme names, intermediates, regulation etc).. for the acetyl coa thing.. the point I was making was why carbons in acetyl coa will never be able to be used to build glucose and hence why certain amino acids are ketogenic vs glucogenic that was the concept I wanted to explain.. yes one carbon dioxide comes from acetyl coa and the other carbon dioxide technically comes from oxaloacetate, but for teleological teaching purposes I wanted the viewer to understand that in the context of metabolic flux in real systems, due to the enzymes our cells express one should not view the carbons in acetyl coa as a source of carbons donated towards gluconeogensis.. and didn't feel it was necessary to explain that the second carbon dioxide technically comes from oxaloacetate which got that carbon from a different acetyl-coa (or thousands of other intermediates that feed into the Krebs cycle).. The purpose of this video was to show connections between pathways and there were hundreds of little technicalities I could have added but I wanted the video to be ~30 minutes

      @@sciencesimplified3890 iirc steps 1 3 and 10 have a very negative free energy change meaning that they are irreversible
