• Everything we do requires metabolic energy.
• Metabolism is a complex interplay: chemical reactions within cells lead to chemical transport between cells.
• Carbohydrate catabolism is designed to release energy relatively quickly, so this form of catabolism is activated during strenuous muscular exercise.
7
• When a muscle contracts, energy is consumed.
• Muscle contraction uses ATP; ATP is in short supply.
• Muscle tissue can contract for no more than several seconds before the supply of high-energy phosphate bonds is depleted.
Muscle Contraction
8
• After the initial contraction, the muscle cells look for other energy sources.
• Muscle glycogen is the next available source.• This polymer breaks down to glucose, which is
oxidized to replenish the ATP supply.• Because glucose oxidation is a complex process,
muscle contraction must proceed at a slower rate.• This energy supply is only useful for about 2
minutes of work; muscles rapidly deplete their glycogen stores and build up lactic acid.
Muscle Contraction

• The bloodstream transports chemicals from one cell to another.
• Nutrients (e.g. glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids) and oxygen are delivered; metabolic products (e.g. lactate) and carbon dioxide are removed.
12
• When blood glucose is in excess, it is converted to glycogen in the liver and in muscle tissue.
• Glycogen is a storage polysaccharide; it quickly hydrolyzes to replace depleted glucose supplies in the blood.
• The synthesis of glycogen from glucose is called glycogenesis.
• The hydrolysis, or breakdown, of glycogen to glucose is known as glycogenolysis.
14
• In the absence of oxygen, glucose in living cells is converted to a variety of end products, including lactic acid (in muscle) and alcohol (in yeast).
• At least a dozen reactions, many different enzymes, ATP, and inorganic phosphate (Pi) are required.
• Such a sequence of reactions from a particular reactant to end product is called a metabolic pathway.
15
Embden-Myerhof pathway
• The anaerobic conversion of glucose to pyruvate is known as the Embden-Myerhof pathway.
• The sequence is a catabolic one in which glucose is oxidatively degraded.
– D-glucose 2 pyruvate
Embden-Meyerhof pathway
17
Glycolysis• When lactate is the final product of
anaerobic glucose catabolism, the pathway is termed glycolysis.
• What glycolysis does for the cell can be summarized with the following net chemical equation:
C6H12O6 + 2 ADP + 2 Pi 2CH3CH(OH)COO- + 2 ATP + 150 kJ
19
• Since only a small fraction of the energy that is potentially available from glucose is liberated during anaerobic conversion to lactate (glycolysis), lactate remains valuable to the cells.
• The lactate formed may be:1) Circulated back to the liver and converted to
glycogen at the expense of some ATP 2) Converted back to pyruvate in order to enter
the citric acid cycle.

Gluconeogenesis
• The formation of glucose from noncarbohydrate sources is called gluconeogenesis.
• Most of the glucose formed during gluconeogenesis comes from lactate, certain amino acids, and the glycerol of fats.

Hormones• Hormones are chemical substances that act
as control agents in the body, often regulating metabolic pathways.
• Hormones help to adjust physiological processes such as:– digestion– metabolism– growth– reproduction
29
Hormones• Hormones are often called the chemical
messengers of the body.
• They do not fit into any single structural classification:
• Polypeptides or proteins• Steroids• Phenol or amino acid derivatives

• An adequate blood-glucose level must be maintained to ensure good health.
• To achieve this goal, hormones regulate and coordinate metabolism in specific organs.
• The hormones control selected enzymes, which, in turn, regulates the rates of reaction in the appropriate metabolic pathways.
