Kinesiology 3339A/B Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Oxidative Phosphorylation, Mitochondrial Matrix, Saturated Fat
Document Summary
Krebs/tch cycle occurs in inner membrane of mitochondria: oxygen required. Glycogen storage in sarcoplasm can be used to produce pyruvate which can be transported into the mitochondrial matrix. All the macronutrients have cross roads to acetyl-coa: aas, fatty acids and pyruvate, acetyl-coa is in the mitochondria and pyruvate is not. H enzymes that are reduced move into the etc and atp is produced. Oxygen is the acceptor of the elector and with the h ions it turns into water. Glycogen storage in muscle has nothing to do with the glucose level in plasma does not contribute to maintenance of blood level: muscle is selfish, glucose in blood comes from diet. In the muscle we don"t have glucose-6-phospotase enzyme so when glucose becomes glucose-6-phosphate, it has to be removed thus it can"t release glucose into the blood. Total atp per glucose breakdown in different pathways:
