Study Guide - PEP 535: Exercise Biochemistry What are the benefits and limitations of 31P-NMR spectroscopy for studying muscle biochemistry during intense exercise? What is the proposed function of the creatine kinase/phosphate shuttle in contracting skeletal muscle? What is the source of the increasing concentration of Pi during intense exercise? Glycogenolysis and Glycolysis Is phosphorylase the only enzyme needed during glycogenolysis? If not, why? Explain the multifaceted biochemical regulation of glycogenolysis. Why is the regulation of glycogenolysis important for influencing the potential flux through glycolysis? Why does intramuscular free glucose increase during glycogenolysis? Why is lactate production important for the acute ability to continue glycolysis during intense exercise? Acidosis What are the sources of protons during muscle contraction? What are the sources of proton buffering/utilization/removal in skeletal muscle? Is it correct to interpret lactate production as the cause of muscle acidosis? Why? Why does ATP hydrolysis release a proton? How would you explain the biochemistry of metabolic acidosis during exercise? What is the strong ion difference, and how is it used to argue for the development of metabolic acidosis? Mitochondrial Respiration Compared to glycolysis, explain where the added sources of ATP come from during oxidative phosphorylation from glucose. At what stages of metabolism is CO2 produced for both fats and carbohydrates? Why are only two molecules of ATP generated for each FADH + H+ during the Electron Transport Chain? Assuming all the molecules of the TCA Cycle and Electron Transport Chain are present, what substrates are needed in the mitochondria for continuation of the electron transport chain and ATP production? Why is electron flow along the Electron Transport Chain unidirectional? What does the phrase "uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation" mean? Explain the process of FFA mobilization and fatty acid oxidation during low intensity exercise? Why is there an increased in carbohydrate catabolism during increasing exercise intensities?
