Cori cycle

The Cori cycle - This lecture explains about the cori cycle. Core cycle is a process of how our body supplies glucose to the cell by converting it to lactose. The Cori cycle (also known as the Lactic acid cycle), named after its discoverers, Carl Ferdinand Cori and Gerty Cori, refers to the metabolic pathway in which lactate produced by anaerobic glycolysis in the muscles moves to the liver and is converted to glucose, which then returns to the muscles and is metabolized. The body is very efficient in that lactic acid is sent in the blood (5) to the liver which can convert it back to pyruvic acid (6) and then to glucose through gluconeogenesis (8). The glucose can enter the blood (9) and be carried to muscles and immediately used. Lactate is transported back to the liver where it is converted into pyruvate by the Cori cycle using the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase.Pyruvate, the first designated substrate of the gluconeogenic pathway, can then be used to generate glucose.
