Reactions of PyruvateReactions of Pyruvate• A key to understanding the biochemical logic

behind two of these reactions of pyruvate is to recognize that glycolysis needs a continuing supply of NAD+

• if no oxygen is present to reoxidize NADH to NAD+, then another way must be found to reoxidize it

Pyruvate to LactatePyruvate to Lactate• in vertebrates under anaerobic conditions, the most

important pathway for the regeneration of NAD+ is reduction of pyruvate to lactate

• lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is a tetrameric isoenzyme consisting of H and M subunits; H4 predominates in heart muscle, and M4 in skeletal muscle

Pyruvate to LactatePyruvate to Lactate• while reduction to lactate allows glycolysis to continue,

it increases the concentration of lactate and also of H+ in muscle tissue

• when blood lactate reaches about 0.4 mg/100 mL, muscle tissue becomes almost completely exhausted

follows two pathways• glucogenic amino acidsglucogenic amino acids:: ones whose carbon skeletons

are degraded to pyruvate or oxaloacetate, both of which may then be converted to glucose by gluconeogenesis

Heme CatabolismHeme Catabolism• When red blood cells are destroyed

• globin is hydrolyzed to amino acids• iron is preserved in ferritin, an iron-carrying protein,

and reused• heme is converted to bilirubin• bilirubin enters the liver via the bloodstream and is

then transferred to the gallbladder where it is stored in the bile and finally excreted in the feces
