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

(Renal tubular and intestinal epithelial cells also have this enzyme) 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. Copyright © 2006 by Elsevier, Inc.

16. 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.

18. 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.

19. Copyright © 2006 by Elsevier, Inc. 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 O 2 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.
