Document Summary
Energy metabolism: discuss the role of lactate production in the body (i. e. , intracellular/extracellular shuttles, cori cycle). Let"s examine this process sequentially of how the body buffers lactate and hydrogen in the blood: [catalyzed means accelerate the reaction] Vt1 is when you switch from fatty acids to carbohydrates. Cori cycle (gluconeogenesis) the liver takes up some circulating lactate and converts it to glucose (cori cycle). The production of glucose by the cori cycle is self-sustained (i. e. , provides fuel for itself). Reason why you don"t see a lot of lactate is because the mitochondria is large for low intensity. Function of lactate: allows glucose to break down and the body can use lactate for energy. Mct= medium chain triglyceride: discuss differences in rates of energy production from each energy system. Muscle triglycerides (energy storage: discuss the various fates of pyruvate within the energy pathways. Krebs cycle function: helps generate energy by converting adp to atp. oxaloacetate helps create creatine.
