Q

anaerobic muscle metabolism

A

high intensity exercise

need for ATP - exceeds mito capacity for ox phos

lactate production - increased NADH/NAD ratio directs pyruvate into lactate

H production - decreased pH, causing pain and fatigue
-lactic acid dissociates to lactate and H

Q

exercise

A

increases skeletal m capacity and efficiency for fuel ox

26
Q

starvation

A

prolonged fasting 2 days

glucagon and epinephrine elevated

  • muscle - FA
  • brain - ketones and glucose
  • RBCs - glucose

decrease in body temp, BP, and HR - so don’t burn much glucose

27
Q

epinephrine

A

stimulates muscle glycogenolysis

28
Q

glucagon

A

stimulate switch to lipolysis

29
Q

skeletal muscle pain in anorexic
