Q

What happens with glucose-1-phosphate?

A

It is converted to glucose-6-phosphate

24
Q

What is the fuel for anaerobic glycolysis?

A

Glucose-6-phosphate

25
Q

What does adrenaline do?

A

Binds beta adrenergic receptors (GPCR) of muscle cells

26
Q

What does adrenaline stimulate?

A

The mobilisation of glycogen to provide fuel for glycolysis

27
Q

What is the source of fuel for anaerobic glycolysis?

A

Muscle glycogen

28
Q

How is ATP generated in anaerobic glycolysis?

A

By substrate level phosphorylation

29
Q

What happens with pyruvate in anaerobic glycolysis?

A

It is reduced to lactate to regenerate NAD+

30
Q

How is ATP generation described in anaerobic glycolysis?

A

Very rapid but for a short time only

31
Q

What can lactate cause?

A

Muscle pH to drop and thus fatigue because enzyme activity lowers

32
Q

What is glycogen mobilisation stimulated by?

A

Ca2+ and adrenaline (stress hormon)

33
Q

What is phosphofructokinase activity increased by?

A

Allosteric regulators - AMP and Pi

34
Q

How do muscle cells make good use of ATP?

A

ADP + ADP = ATP + AMP

35
Q

What enzyme allows muscle cells to make good use of ATP?

A

Adenylate kinase (myokinase)

36
Q

What supplies the fuels for aerobic generation of ATP?

A

The blood

37
Q

What supplies the oxygen for aerobic generation of ATP?

A

The blood

38
Q

What happens in aerobic generation of ATP?

A

Active citric acid cycle, electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation

39
Q

What must be attempted to do during aerobic generation of ATP?

A

Must try not to deplete glycogen stores for short bursts of energy if required (sprint finish)

40
Q

What are the types of muscle fibre?

A

Type 1 and Type 2

41
Q

What are the Type 1 muscle fibres?

A

Red, slow twitch fibres

42
Q

What are the characteristics of Type 1 muscle fibres?

A

Slow speed of contraction, low maximum power output, high endurance, high capillary density and high myoglobin content

43
Q

How is metabolism in type 1 muscle fibres?

A

Oxidative (Aerobic)

44
Q

What are Type 2 muscle fibres?

A

White, fast twitch

45
Q

What are the characteristics of Type 2 muscle fibres?

A

Fast speed of contraction, low endurance, low mitochondrial density, high glycogenolytic enzyme activity and high glycolytic enzyme activity

46
Q

How is metabolism in type 2 muscle fibres?

A

Glycolytic (anaerobic)

47
Q

What muscle fibres are selected for in endurance training?

A

Type 1 (aerobic)

48
Q

What happens to the number of blood capillaries per muscle fibre in endurance training?

A

Increases

49
Q

What happens to the mitochondria in endurance training?

A

Increase size and number - increased cristae, increased capacity of mitochondria to generate ATP by oxidative phosphorylation, increased capacity to oxidise lipid and carbohydrate

50
Q

What happens to myoglobin content in endurance training?

A

Increases

51
Q

What are some performance enhancing drugs?

A

EPO doping, anabolic steroids and growth factors

52
Q

What does EPO do?

A

Increases red blood cell count and therefore gives more oxygen - recombinant EPO

53
Q

What do anabolic steroids do?

A

Give more muscle

54
Q

What do growth factors do?

A

More muscle - recombinant IGF-1, GH

55
Q

What are possibilities of gene therapy?

A

Turn off myostatin and regulation of transcription factors

56
Q

What may happen in regulation of transcription factors?

A

Upregulate PGC-1 or turn on PPAR which controls the number of mitochondria
