Exam questionKROK 1Medicine ยท 2016
When blood circulation in the damaged tissue is restored, lactate accumulation stops and glucose consumption decelerates. These metabolic changes are caused by activation of the following process:
Answer options
- Gluconeogenesis
- Aerobic glycolysis
- Glycogen biosynthesis
- Anaerobic glycolysis
- Lipolysis
Correct answer
Aerobic glycolysis
Explanation
When the blood supply comes back to damaged tissue, oxygen returns back which in turn instead of lactate accumulation (because of anaerobic glycolysis) glucose is converted to pyruvate (aerobic glycolysis).
