The sequence of glucose conversion to lactate in peripheral tissues,delivery of lactate to the liver,formation of glucose from lactate in the liver,and delivery of glucose back to peripheral tissues is known as the ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sequence described in the question is the Cori cycle, which is a metabolic pathway that enables the conversion of muscle lactate to glucose in the liver. This cycle allows for the replenishment of glucose levels in peripheral tissues during periods of high energy demand, such as exercise. The other choices listed (A, B, and D) describe different metabolic pathways, but are not directly related to the Cori cycle.
