The Role of Energy Substrates in Muscle Metabolism
The energy needs of muscle are met by the utilization of different energy substrates depending on the body’s situation. The majority of muscle’s energy is produced by fatty acid during rest (Ludzki, et. al. 2017, 2017). The body switches from being at rest to becoming active, and the muscles start to burn glucose to produce energy (Jankowski, et al. 2016). For energy production, muscles use both glucose and fat acids when they are at rest. During physical activity, glucose is the main source of energy (Ludzki and co., 2017). Because glucose can be rapidly broken down, it is used for energy by the muscles (Hajduch and al. 2019,). Fat acids provide the main energy source for muscle rest (Jankowski, et al. 2016). Because fatty acids slowly break down, this allows for steady energy supply to the muscles over a long time period (Hajduch and al., 2019,). Cont…
