Lactate Fermentation

invests an ATP to produce a bi-phosphorylated hexose:: phosphofructokinase

storage form of glucose found in muscle cells and abundantly in liver::glycogen,

reduced product of GAPDH:: NADH

donates a phosphate to provide a direct return on the invested ATPs resulting in the end product of glycolysis, pyruvate: PEP

invests an ATP to keep glucose in the cell:: hexokinase

oxidizes a triose in glycolysis::GAPDH

activated substrate which donates a phosphate to ADP to produce one “profit” ATP from glycolysis::1,3 biphosphoglycerate

in the absence of sufficient oxygen, oxidizes NADH to regenerate NAD+ (a rate-limiting substrate), allowing glycolysis to proceed rapidly to meet emergency needs of muscle cells:: LDH (lactate dehydrogenase)

travels to the liver to provide three carbons for gluconeogenesis:: lactate
