Anaerobic glycolytic system Flashcards
where does the energy for phosphorylating ADP during intense and short duration exercise come mainly from?
stored muscle glycogen
breakdown via anaerobic/fast glycolysis resulting in lactate formation
power vs capacity and timeline of anaerobic glycolytic
moderate to high power, mod to low capacity
peak power - 15-30 seconds
capacity - 45-120 seconds
when does the anaerobic glycolytic system kick in?
5 seconds after muscle contraction starts
- overlap between ATPPC capacity and anaerobic glycolytic power
sports using the anaerobic glycolytic system
15-120 seconds 1500m speedskating 200m track - 800m capacity 100m swimming slalom and downhill skiing gymnastic - floor routine or parallel barrs round of boxing period of wrestling track cycling - kilo race
anaerobic glycolytic energy
reserve fuel used at the start/end of race
Embden Meyerhof glycolytic pathway
Meyerhof - glycogen was precursor of lactate (1920)
Embden - put together a model of all the steps of glycolysis - later adopted and confirmed by meyerhof
glycolysis
requires
series of sequential metabolic steps that converts glucose/glycogen into pyruvate to produce ATP
energy to be invested first
net gain of ATP depends in glycolysis depends on
if starting substrate is glucose or glycogen
level of ATP phosphorylation
substrate level
how much potential ATP is generated?
5% of potential 30-33 ATP that is produced through complete aerobic breakdown of glucose
where does glycolysis occur?
cytoplasm
Products of glycolysis of glucose vs glycogen
2 vs 3 ATP
2 NADHH
2 pyruvate
rate limiting enzyme of glycolysis
phophofructokinase
What are cell membranes permeable and not permeable to?
glucose and lactate but not phophorylated substances
is glycolysis possible without glucose/glycogen?
no
low glycogen induced by
fasting, inadequate nutrition, depleted stores from previous exercise
can glycogen move out of muscles?
no
muscle glucose transporters
Glut 1 (glucose transporter type 1)
- steady flow
- non insulin regulated
moves glucose into muscles during rest
GLUT 4
- stored in intracellular vesicles
- moves glucose into cells after a meal and during exercise
- insulin regulated - postprandially (after a meal)
- activated by muscle contractions - (increased intracellular calcium )
glycogen synthase (5)
used in glycogenesis
- enzymes that convert glucose into glycogen (long chains)
- active in postprandial period
- glycogen close to active site of muscles
- too much glucose gets turned into fat
anaerobic glycolysis is regulated by a series of
controls the rate of energy production along the anaerobic metabolic pathway glycolytic enzymes - hexokinase - phophorylase - phosphofructokinase (PFK) - lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)
hexokinase
One ATP required for activation
traps glucose in the cell
Phosphorylase
no ATP required for activation
activated by Pi, Ca and cAMP (epinephrine via g-protein receptor- activate energy)
McArdle’s syndrome - dysfunctional phosphorylase
phosphofructokinase
one ATP for activation
rate limiting for glycolysis
allosteric regulation - enzyme bind and changes active site
-inhibited by ATP, citrate, free FA and decreased pH
-activated by ADP, Pi, AMP and increased pH
numbers of ATP produced from heart muscle and skeletal muscle from heart muscle
skeletal glucose 30 glycogen 31
Heart glucose 32 glycogen 33
Lactate dehydrogenase and isoforms
LDH 4&5 predominate in fast twitch to convert pyruvate to lactate “m” for muscle form
LDH 1&2 predominate in cardiac - slow twich to convert lactate to pyruvate “h” for heart form
LDH (m)
regenerate NAD to faciliate fast glycolysis b/c that doesnt happen without NAD and allows it to continue for minutes instead of seconds
how is lactic acid fromed?
when NADHH is oxidized to NAD by transferring H to pyruvic acid (C3H4O3) which turns into lactic acid (C3H6O3)
lactic acid or lactate?
99% of lactic acid dissociates into H and lactate immediately
Why is there lactic acid all the time in our blood?
RBC, kidneys and certain tissues in the eye will produce lactic acid continuously, always some lactate in circulation
how do lactate levels fluctuate?
depends on lactate turnover which is a function of production vs clearnace
5 factors that promote lactate production
muscle contrations mass action effect muscle fibre type increased SNS activation insufficient oxygen
muscle contrations and lactate prodution
ca activates phosphorylase which leads to glycogenesis
