Week 5 lactate Threshold Flashcards
1
Q
What happens to the AMP (From the myokinase reaction?)
A
AMP is created my myokinase which is then converted though the AMP Deaminase pathway. AMP to NH3 and IMP which then turns into Uric acid
2
Q
Where did the H+ come from (for the production of lactate)
A
H+ is generated at several sites in glycolysis but no net H+ production occurs unless the ATP formed is hydrolysed. The other main source of metabolic H+ production is ketogenesis. Here H+ accumulation depends on both the relative dominance of ketone body production over utilization and the loss of base in urine.
