Phosphate Terminology
• Kinase
– adds a phosphate
• phosphatase
– removes a phosphate
• phosphorylase
– splits a compound by adding a phosphate
(analagous to hydrolysis, but uses phosphate
instead of water)

Glucose Transport Into Most Cells
• Down a concentration gradient by
facilitated diffusion,
– i.e. a carrier is required but energy is not
• There are many different carriers. The
most important and commonly studied are
– GLUT-1, does not require insulin
• note that most post-absorptive glucose uptake by
cells does not require insulin
– GLUT-4, insulin dependent

One molecule of glucose yields...
• Glycolysis
– 2 NADH
– 2 ATP
• Pyruvate to Acetyl CoA conversion
– 2 NADH (because there are 2 pyruvates)
• Citric Acid cycle (numbers are for 2 pyruvates going through)
– 6 NADH
– 2 FADH2
– 2 ATP
• Total: 10 NADH, 2 FADH2, and 4 ATP

Electron Transport, Making ATP
• Each NADH + H yields 2 electrons
– Electron transport along the cytochrome chain enables
establishment of an electrochemical H+ gradient along the inner
mitochondrial membrane.
• Hydrogen movement down this gradient, through
the ATP synthetase, provides the energy for
conversion of ADP to ATP.
• Each electron pair from each NADH + H can
provide enough energy for production of 3 ATP
– electron pair from FADH2 yield 2 ATP

Phosphorylation of the monosaccharides upon entering cells of the
body “traps” it there for use. The G-6-P enzyme is needed for tissues
that send glucose to other parts of the body.

Glycolysis
The Lactate Story
• The NADH formed from oxidizing glucose
eventually gets oxidized back to NAD+ in the
mitochondria.
– (the result of giving the electrons to electron transport chain)
• NAD+ is needed to keep oxidizing glucose.
• In exercise (once the anaerobic threshold is
crossed), NAD+ isn’t re-formed fast enough, so low
levels threaten to stop glycolysis and ATP
production.
• The main reason to form lactate is to regenerate the
NAD+ needed to continue oxidizing glucose.

Pyruvate
The Fate of Lactate
• Lactate is transported to the liver for conversion back
to pyruvate and then, via gluconeogenesis, to glucose.
– Why would muscle transport lactate to the liver for conversion back to
pyruvate? NAD+ is needed for that step, and the point of making
lactate in the first place was because NAD+ was too low.
• Lactate is in a sense a “storage form” of NADH,
because when it gets oxidized back to pyruvate,
NADH is formed.
• The glucose is released and taken up by the active
muscle.

More on Lactate
• Reconversion of Lactic Acid: Why does excess ATP cause
excess pyruvate to be converted back to glucose?
– This is because high ATP levels inhibit glycolysis and actually
promote the reverse, i.e. gluconeogenesis.
• Lactic Acid and the Heart
– The very high blood flow and O2 levels mean no shortage of NAD+
so any lactate that is formed can be oxidized readily to pyruvate.
– Significant lactic acid is formed in the heart only during ischemia.
– Lactate Dehydrogenase (LD) has a very low affinity for pyruvate in the
heart, also explaining why little lactate is formed normally. However,
cardiac LD has high affinity for lactate, hence the ability of the heart to
utilize lactate from the circulation during exercise.
• in “white” skeletal muscle, LD has a high affinity for pyruvate.
