Topic: Cori cycle


  
  Gluconeogenesis
The Cori cycle invloves the utilization of lactate, produced by glycolysis in non-hepatic tissues, (such as muscle and erythrocytes) as a carbon source for hepatic gluconeogenesis.
However, the major function of the glucose-alanine cycle is to allow non-hepatic tissues to deliver the amino portion of catabolized amino acids to the liver for excretion as urea.
The amino nitrogen is converted to urea in the urea cycle and excreted by the kidneys.

  Gerty Theresa Radnitz Cori (www.whonamedit.com)
In 1931 the Coris accepted positions at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri, where he became chairman of the Department of Pharmacology and she took a position as research associate in the department of pharmacology— at a token salary.
In 1946 the Coris moved to the department of biochemistry at Washington university, and in 1947 Gerty Cori became full professor of biochemistry, the post she occupied at her death.
Carl and Gerty Cori received the prize "for their discovery of the course of the catalytic conversion of glycogen", Bernardo Alberto Houssay "for his discovery of the part played by the hormone of the anterior pituitary lobe in the metabolism of sugar".

 Alanine cycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The alanine cycle is quite similar to the Cori cycle.
This process is less productive than the Cori Cycle, which uses lactate, since a byproduct of energy production from alanine is production of urea.
Removal of the urea is energy-dependent, thus the net ATP produced is less than that found in the Cori Cycle.

 Carl and Gerty Cori and carbohydrate metabolism
The interplay between glucose and glycogen is at the heart of what is known as the "Cori cycle." The Coris found that insulin increased the oxidation of glucose and its conversion to glycogen in muscle, as well as in the liver.
The Coris theorized - and eventually demonstrated - that this intermediate was lactic acid and was integral to the "cycle of carbohydrates," or the "Cori cycle," which they depicted in 1929:

Gerty Theresa Radnitz Cori was the first American woman to receive the Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology, in 1947, which was shared with her husband, Dr. Carl F. Cori, and Dr. B.A. Houssay of Argentina.
Dr. Cori was born on August 15, 1896, in Prague, which was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

 Cori cycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cori cycle refers to the recycling of lactate or lactic acid produced by muscle during anaerobic metabolism.
Most of the pyruvate is then converted to ATP while another organ, the liver, handles the lactate produced.
The cycle prevents lactate acidosis by removing lactate from the blood.

In the 1920s, when the Coris began to study carbohydrate metabolism, it was generally believed that the sugar called glucose (a type of carbohydrate) was formed from another carbohydrate, glycogen, by the addition of water molecules (a process known as hydrolysis).
However, in the course of their work, the Coris discovered a chemical compound, glucose-1-phosphate, made up of glucose and a phosphate group (one phosphorus atom combined with three oxygen atoms--sometimes known as the Cori ester) that is derived from glycogen by the action of an enzyme, phosphorylase.
In the course of her later studies, Cori was instrumental in the discovery of a number of other chemical intermediate compounds and enzymes that play key roles in biological processes.

Proof of the interconversion allowed them to formulate the "Cori cycle," postulating that liver glycogen is converted to blood glucose that is reconverted to glycogen in muscle, where its breakdown to lactic acid provides the energy utilized in muscle contraction.
Studying the way in which hormones affect carbohydrate metabolism in animals, the Coris showed that epinephrine induces the formation of a type of phosphorylase enzyme favouring conversion of glycogen to activated glucose and that insulin causes the removal of sugar from the blood by promoting the addition of phosphate to glucose.

 6.5 The Cori cycle
The combination of glycolysis in peripheral tissues with gluconeogenesis in the liver is referred to as the 'Cori cycle' (Figure 6.5-1).
Thus, the Cori cycle operates asynchronously rather than continuously – it has more similarity with the pig cycle of the agricultural markets than with a regular metabolic cycle such as the TCA.
The Cori cycle does indeed run synchronously with cells such as erythrocytes and thrombocytes, which don't have mitochondria and thus rely completely on anaerobic glycolysis even under aerobic conditions.
