17
Q

During exercise muscles make

A

Ammonia

Lactate

18
Q

Glucose-Alanine Cycle

A
  1. Ammonia and Lactate made during excerise
  2. Alanine is made up of Ammonia and Lactate
  3. Alanine travels to liver and converted back to Amm and Lac
  4. Ammonia becomes urea and Lactate becomes glucose
  5. Glucose returns to the muscle via blood
