Which of the following occurs during the Cori cycle Lactate
Which of the following occurs during the Cori cycle? Lactate is converted to glucose, in the liver, via gluconeogenesis. NAD^+ is regenerated in the liver by the conversion of pyruvate to lactate. Lactate is transported in the blood stream from the liver to the muscle. Lactate dehydrogenase activity is inhibited in the muscle.
Solution
The answer is: Lactate is converted to glucose, in the liver, via gluconegenesis.
Lactate formed in the muscle travels to liver via blood stream where it is converted to glucose via gluconeogeneseis pathway.
