The evolutionary selection process for glycogen metabolism<span> reflects the requirements of rendering large amounts of glucose into an osmotically stable but readily soluble </span>substrate<span> for rapid mobilization. Therefore glycogen </span>serves<span> as a glucose reserve and </span>substrate<span> buffer for local </span>energy<span> demand.</span>
Resting metabolic rate is the rate in which your body burns energy to function while at rest.
Lactic acid fermentation produces lactic acid, while alcoholic fermentation produces ethanol. Both fermentation pathways also oxidize NADH to NAD+ during the process.
