During contraction, creatine kinase can rapidly produce atp from phosphocreatine and adp. In the relaxation phase, the reaction goes in the opposite direction, making phosphocreatine using atp. A low level of glucose (less than 2. 5 mm) causes brain dysfunction and coma. An average weight person (70 kg) has about 15kg of fat stores in the body in adipose tissue, equaling 141000 calories, which could sustain a person for about. The protein in muscle (about 6kg for an average person) can be broken down in. 24000 calories, giving about 20 days of sustenance. High glucose level spills over into the urine and tissues starve of glucose. Alcohol toxicity: alcohol dehydrogenase converts ethanol to acetaldehyde using nad+ as a oxidizing agent (producing nadh, aldehyde dehydrogenase oxidizes acetaldehyde to acetate using nad+ (producing. Nadh: nadh inhibits gapdh, pdc, the three dehydrogenases of cac and beta-hydroxyacyl- Coa dehydrogenase of the beta-oxidation of fatty acids.
