Adenine Nucleotide Metabolism
Definition

*Typically this ratio is ~6:1

 

Myokinase Reaction:

ADP+ADP<->ATP+AMP

De Novo Synthesis
Definition
A series of 11 rxns to build a IMP using glutamine, glycine, and aspartate
Term
Salvage Pathway
Definition

Restoration of purines (ultimately ATP) with nucleosides and bases that do not escape the muscle cell duirng exercise

 

Term
ATP Synthesis
Definition
THe more PRPP available, the greater the activation of the De Novo synthesis and Salvage pathways
Term
When are the ATP/PCr system activated at the onset of exercise?
Definition
Immediately
Term
When is the glycolytic system activated at onset of exercise?
Definition
Appears to be activated immediately or almost immediately
Term
Does the muscle cell want to maintain the ATP levels, and how is this regulated?
Definition
Yes the muscle cell wants to maintain ATP levels, and it is tightly regulated by the ATP:ADP ratio
Term
During high intensity exercise, how much is the ATP pool depleted?
Definition
40-50% in human skeletal muscle
Term
Does ribose supplementation help maintain/restore ATP levels via the PRPP salvage and de novo synthesis pathways?
Definition
Yes
Term
Lactate Levels in Blood and muscle
Definition

Lactate level- (Blood at rest- 0.4 mM) (Blood exercise- 20-25 mM) (Muscle rest- 1.0 mM/ kg ww) (Muscle Exercise- 25-30 mM/kg ww)

 

pH level- (Blood rest- 7.4) (Blood exercise- 6.8) (Muscle rest- 7.1) (Muscle exercise- 6.5)

Term
Lactate During Exercise
Definition

*The lactate to pyruvate ratio (L/P) is ~10 in resting muscle

*This ratio can increase several fold (>100?) during intense exercise

*This ratio can also increase several fold even when there is no limitation in oxygen supply

Term
Lactate during Exercise
Definition

1) Intracellular lactate shuttle: cytosolic lactate enters the mitochondria where it can be oxidized

2) Intercellular lactate shuttle: cytosolic lactate enters an adjacent muscle fiber

3) Lactate diffusion: cytosolic lactate enters the blood and can be transported to the liver, heart, or other muscle cells 

Term
Is lactate a metabolic waste product or substrate?
Definition
Substrate
Term
Where can lactate be oxidized?
Definition

Within the muscle cell, adjacent muscle cells, and different muscle cells.

It also can be oxidized in the heart and converted to glucose in the liver (gluconeogenesis)

Term
Where are lactate transporters (MCT) located?
Definition
The muscle cells and mitochondrial membrane
Term
Where does LDH also exist?
Definition
Mitochondria
Term
What accounts for the lower lactate levels during submaximal exercise?
Definition
The removal of lactate
Term
Astrand's Glycogen Loading
Definition

1. Complete an exhaustive training bout 7 days before event

2. Eat fat and protein for next 3 days and reduce training load; this increases glycogen synthesis

3. Eat a CHO-rich diet for remaining 3 days before event and reduce training load; because of increased glycogen synthesis, more glycogen is stored

Term
Sherman's Glycogen Loading
Definition

7 days before competition

-Reduce training intensity

-Eat a normal, healthy mixed diet with 55% CHO

3 days before competition

-Reduce trainig to daily warm-up of 10 to 15 minutes

-Eat a CHO-rich diet

Term
Pre-Exercise CHO Feeding
Definition

-Eating too clsoe to competition will decrease blood glucose levels

-Best to eat a light meal ~2 hours or immediately prior (<5 min) to competition 

Term
At rest, glucose uptake by the muscles accounts for how much of the total energy?
Definition
10%
Term
How much glucose uptake by the muscles that accounts for the total energy increase during exercise?
Definition
It can increase 10-20 times during exercise
Term
During extended exercise, blood glucose may account for how much of the muscles carbohydrate use?
Definition
75-90% of the muscles carbohydrate use
Term
During typical submaximal exercise, working muscles take up an average of how much of the glucose circulated to it?
Definition
Only 4%
Term
The majority of studies show that CHO ingestion during exercise improved performance provided how much g/hr?
Definition
25-60 g/hr
Term
What is the recommendation from an exercise physiologists viewpoint to ingest how much g of CHO/hr for exercise lasting longer than 1-2 hours?
Definition
40-60 grams
Term
Effects of Solution Characteristics on the Rate of Gastric Emptying
Definition

Volume of the solution 

-Increases with larger volumes

Caloric content 

-Decreases as the caloric density increases

Osmolarity

-Decreases with hyperosmolar solutions

Temperature

-Faster for cooler fluids than warm solutions

pH

-Decreases with more acidic solutions

Term
What exercise intensities percentage of VO2max slows gastric emptying?
Definition
Above 70-80% Vo2max slows gastric emptying
Term
T/F- Gastric emptying is the same at rest as it is at exercise intensities below 70% VO2max
Definition
True
Term
Does an individuals fitness affect gastric emptying?
Definition
Yes it does, the more fit, the less exercise affects gastric emptying
Term
Is gastric emptying affected by exercise duration?
Definition
Not affected
Term
Does different types of activity affect gastric emptying differently?
Definition
Yes gastric emptying is affected differently by different types of activities
Term
What sugars empty fastest from digestive tract?
Definition
Fructose, glucose, and maltodextrin
Term
What do concentrations less than 11 g of CHO per 100 ml do?
Definition
They empty faster but don't supply the full energy needed for prolonged exercise
Term
Prolonged exercise
Definition

-Water intake is primary

-Drinking 4 g to 8 g of CHO per 100 ml solution every 10-15 minutes reduces risk of dehydration and provides a partial energy supplement

Term
Is there a difference in muscle glycogen restoration rate when consuming a carbohydrate-protein mixture?
Definition
No difference in muscle glycogen.  As long as adequate carbohydrate is consumed (>0.7 g/kg bw/hr), maximal re-synthesis rates are achieved
Term
Does glycogen loading delay the onset of fatigue?
Definition
Yes it does delay the onset of fatigue
Term
Does maintaining normal blood glucose levels allow the muscles to obtain more energy from blood glucose?
Definition
Yes it does allow the msucles to obtain more energy from blood glucose, sparing liver and muscle glycogen reserves.
