Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for rapid glycosis after the infusion of fructose should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Glycolysis is also termed as Embden-Meyerhof pathway. It involves the breakdown of one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate. During this reaction, two molecules of ATP are used up in the preparatory phase. Further, in the payoff phase, two molecules of ATP and two molecules of NADH are produced.

The Cori Cycle. Before vigorous exercise (at rest) the level of blood lactate is at its normal level (about 25 mM). During a 400 m sprint, the value rises sharply in less than a few minutes to about 200 mM and then declines slowly to around 40 mM over 60 mins after the sprint. a. Discuss (or illustrate) the pathway and reactions that cause the rapid increase in lactate concentration during the sprint.  b. What causes the slow decline in lactate concentration after the sprint? Why does the decrease occur more slowly than the rapid increase?  c. What enzymatic reaction is responsible for maintaining the lactate concentration above zero at recovery after the sprint?
They are everywhere. What energetic barrier prevents glycolysis from simply running in reverse tosynthesis glucose? What is the energetic cost to overcome this barrier?
Crohn’s disease. Omega-3 fatty acids have been tested asa means to prevent relapse of Crohn’s disease. Two large,randomized, placebo-controlled studies have shown nosuch benefit from omega-3 fatty acids. Suppose you areasked to design an experiment to further study this claim.Imagine that you have collected data on Crohn’s relapsesin subjects who have used these omega-3 fatty acids and similar subjects who have not used them and that you canmeasure incidences of relapse for these subjects. Statethe null and alternative hypotheses you would use in yourstudy.
