Document Summary

Nervous stimulation of ca ions have the same effect as covalent stimuli. Glucose produced is to provide energy for the cell. Anaerobic respiration system favors glyceraldehyde-3-p and production of lactase. Nadh produced is oxidized by lactate dehydrogenase. Nad is made available in cytosol to be reduced to nadh. Nadh is not directly available for oxidative phosphorylation in inner mitochondrial membrane. Aerobic respiration system allows total oxidation of glucose. Nadh is shuttled to the mitochondrial matrix. Pyruvate and nadh production from glycolysis is accelerated. Glucagon triggers glucose synthesis from non-cho sources.
