Anaerobic cellular respiration Glycolytic or lactic acid system low yield ATP 2ATP/Glucose Can only use glucose Short term only
glycogenesis Glycogen synthesis Conversion of glucose to glycogen in muscle and liver for later use
Lipogenesis Biosynthesis and storage of triglycerides as body fat, mainly in adipose tissue
Gluconeogenesis synthesis of glucose from non carb sources - AAs. High protein/low carb diet. Can result in loss of muscle mass.
Glycogenolysis The break down of glycogen to glucose by liver for release into blood stream to increase blood sugar levels in response to insulin.
