The Great Debate • Top-down • Feedback control
Energy Metabolism and the Three Principles of Fuel Utilization
The need for energy starts when calcium is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum of contracting muscle
Sources of ATP Stored in muscle cell (limited) Synthesized from macronutrients Common Processes for ATP production Anaerobic System a. ATP-PC (Phosphagen system) b. Anaerobic glycolysis (lactic acid system) Aerobic System a. Aerobic glycolysis b. Fatty acid oxidation c. TCA Cycle
ATP-PCr (Phosphagen system) Stored in the muscle cells (PCr > ATP) ATP + H2O ADP + Pi + E (ATPase hydrolysis) PCr + ADP ATP + Cr (creatine kinase reaction) ADP + ADP ATP + AMP (adenylate kinase) PCr represents the most rapidly available source of ATP a) Does not depend on long series of reactions b) No O2 transportation required c) Limited storage, readily depleted ~ 10 s
Glycolysis Glucose + 2 ADP + 2 Pi + 2 NAD+ 2 Pyruvate + 2 ATP + 2 NADH + 2 H+ + 2 H2O
Lactate Dehydrogenase Hypoxic conditions Pyruvate + CoA + NADH + H+ Lactate + NAD+
Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Lots of Oxygen Pyruvate + CoA + NADP+ Acetyl-CoA + CO2 + NADPH
Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Pyruvate + CoA + NADP+ Acetyl-CoA + CO2 + NADPH
TCA Cycle Acetyl-CoA + 3 NAD+ + FAD + GDP + Pi + 2H20 CoASH + 3 NADH + 3H+ + FADH2 + GTP + 2CO2
Beta Oxidation of Fatty Acids 7 FAD + 7 NAD+ + 7 CoASH + 7 H2O + H(CH2CH2)7CH2CO-SCoA 8 CH3CO-SCoA + 7 FADH2 + 7 NADH + 7 H+
Summary of ATP Production via Lipid Oxidation ATP Balance Sheet for Palmitic Acid (16 carbon) ATP • Activation of FA chain -1 • ß oxidation (16 Carbons / 2) –1 = 7 (at 5 ATP each) 35 • Acetyl-CoA (16 Carbons / 2) = 8 (at 12 ATP each) 96 Total per chain 130
Energy for “Burst” and Endurance Activities • Rate of ATP Production (M of ATP/min) • phosphagen system ..............4 • anaerobic glycolysis..………2.5 • aerobic system.......................1 How long Can it Last? • phosphagen system...8 to 10 sec • anaerobic glycolysis…1.3 to 1.6 min • aerobic system.........unlimited time(as long as nutrients last)
Aerobic Energy • During low intensity exercise, the majority of energy is provided aerobically • Energy produced aerobically requires O2 • Therefore, O2 uptake can be used as a measure for energy use

Three Principles of Fuel Utilization during Exercise • Maintaining glucose homeostasis • Using the fuel that is most efficient Storage Metabolic • Preserving muscle glycogen core

Contribution of different fuels to metabolism by the working muscle is determined by 3 objectives: • Maintaining glucose homeostasis • Using the fuel that is most efficient Storage Metabolic • Preserving muscle glycogen core
The Most Efficient Fuel depends on Exercise Intensity and Duration Metabolic Efficiency CHO is preferred during high intensity exercise because its metabolism yields more energy per liter of O2than fatmetabolism. kcal/l of O2 CHO 5.05 Fat 4.74 CHO can also produce energy without O2!!! Storage Efficiency Fat is preferred during prolonged exercise because its metabolism provides more energy per unit mass than CHO metabolism. kcal/g of fuel CHO 4.10 Fat 9.45 Fats are stored in the absence of H2O.
Effects of Exercise Intensity • Plasma FFA (fat from fat cells) is the primary fuel source for low intensity exercise • As intensity increases, the source shifts to muscle glycogen From: Powers & Howley. (2007). Exercise Physiology. McGraw-Hill.
Effects of Exercise Duration From: Powers & Howley. (2007). Exercise Physiology. McGraw-Hill.
Fuel Selection • As intensity increases carbohydrate use increases, fat use decreases • As duration increase, fat use increases, carb use decreases From: Powers & Howley. (2007). Exercise Physiology. McGraw-Hill.

Other fuels are utilized to spare muscle glycogen during prolonged exercise thereby delaying exhaustion Adipose Lactate NEFA Pyruvate Glycerol Amino Acids Muscle NEFA GLY ATP GNG GLY Glucose Liver As exercise duration increases: • More energy is derived from fats and less from glycogen. • Amino acid, glycerol, lactate and pyruvate carbons are recycled into glucose.

Discussion Question Can you accommodate all three principles of fuel utilization? Why not? What is the Consequence?
