17
Q

What is the key enzyme involved in both the muscle and liver?

A

Alanine Amino Transferase

18
Q

What happens in the Cori Cycle?

A

Lactate is transported through blood.

19
Q

What happens in the glucose alanine cycle?

A

Alanine is transported

20
Q

what enzymes and receptors are activated when someone has COVID-19?

A

Covid binds to the ACE receptor which regulates blood pressure. Alanine amino transferase is activated by the coronavirus to facilitate the glucose alanine cycle so that the virus can turn all our muscle protein into glucose, elevating the level of glycolysis to get energy for transcription.
