The heart cannot convert lactate back to glucose, as the liver does, but instead uses it as a fuel. What is the ATP yield from the complete catabolism of one mole of lactate?
Certain tissues, such as the heart muscle, can use lactate as an energy substrate. How much ATP is formed during the oxidation of one lactate molecule to CO2 and H2O? write the reactions of the complete oxidation of lactate.
