Process of Glycogenesis (With Diagram) | Biochemistry

In this article we will discuss about the process of glycogenesis. The process of formation of glycogen from glucose in the tissues is called glyco­genesis. Different tissues of the living orga­nisms store carbohydrate as glycogen. The steps of glycogenesis are as follows (Fig. 8.83). 1. Glucose is phosphorylated to glycose-6- phosphate by the enzyme hexokinase (glucokinase) in presence of a [...]

Cori Cycle (With Diagram) | Biochemistry

The oxygen supply to the muscle in liv­ing vertebrate body under normal conditions is so efficient that it refrains lactic acid to accumulate. But during heavy exercise, the oxygen supply becomes inadequate, and excess of lactic acid accumulates in the mus­cle fibres and diffuses out into blood stream. The reasons behind this, is the formation of NADH by glycolysis exceeds [...]
