Cori cycle



Dramatically explained cori cycle


Cori cycle is the metabolic process of converting lactate to glucose in the liver. This picture indicates how this take place. In rapid contraction of muscles produce lactate which then moves to the liver through blood stream. Converted glucose moves to the muscle via blood glucose. In the muscles glucose is converted to glycogen for storage, which is utilized when need be by rapid muscle contraction.  Glycogenolysis is the process of synthesis of glycogen. The process of glycogenolysis takes place as shown in this picture.



 Importance of cori cycle are; (1) Prevent acidosis in muscles, (2) Produces ATP. The production of ATP in this is important since can be utilized in the glycolytic pathway hence increase additional step.
