Lactic Acid Fermentation

Pyruvate
Lactate

Formation of lactic acid from pyruvate

Lactic Acid Fermetation

LOC:

Skeletal muscle

Steps:

• Pyruvate + NADH <-(Lactate Dehydrogenase)-> Lactate + NAD + H
• GLC + 2Pi + 2ADP --> 2Lactate + 2ATP + 2H2O
• NADH produced in GAP is consumed in the reduction of Pyruvate --> Lactate
