The Cori Cycle The Cori Cycle, also known as the lactic acid cycle, is an essential metabolic pathway that plays a crucial role in maintaining glucose homeostasis and energy balance in the body. It serves as a dynamic metabolic pathway that helps balance energy needs during periods of intense physical activity, preventing the accumulation of lactic acid in muscles and contributing to the maintenance of blood glucose levels for various tissues, including the brain. The Cori Cycle involves several biochemical steps:  Lactate Production: In active muscle cells, especially during intense exercise, there is increased glycolysis (breakdown of glucose) to produce…
