Study Notes
Glycolysis and the Cori Cycle
- Lactate is produced to allow muscle cells to access NAD+ and continue glycolysis to provide ATP.
- The Cori Cycle ensures that ATP-rich glucose is not lost as a waste product (lactate) but can be recycled for use by the muscle in aerobic metabolism.
- The Cori Cycle shows a net loss of 8 ATP, but a net gain once the carbon chain leaves the Cori Cycle and enters into regular aerobic metabolism.
Lactate and Glucose
- Lactate is produced in anaerobic conditions, such as in exercising muscle and red blood cells, to regenerate NAD+ for further ATP production in glycolysis.
- The Cori Cycle transports lactate from muscles to the liver, where it is converted back to glucose through gluconeogenesis.
- Glucose can be stored as glycogen during glycogenesis and broken down into glucose when needed by muscles or for release into the blood stream.
Regulation of Glycolysis
- ATP is made in small quantities, and glucose is stored as glycogen.
- Fatty acids are stored as triglycerides, and amino acids are used to make proteins.
- High glucose levels react with protein, requiring safe storage.
- Glycogenesis is activated during rest and when insulin signals excess glucose.
Glycogenesis
- Glycogenesis stores glucose by creating glycogen in muscle cells and the liver.
- A core protein of glycogenin is surrounded by branches of glucose units.
- Glycogen synthase and glycogen branching enzyme are involved in the process.
- Branching allows multiple points of access to glucose molecules.
Cellular Metabolism
- Glycolysis is the first step in converting glucose to energy.
- The Cori Cycle maximizes energy potential in anaerobic conditions.
- Glycogenesis and glycogenolysis describe glucose storage and release in the body.
- The Krebs cycle and electron transport chain continue the conversion of glucose into energy.
