Document Summary
Duration and intensity of exercise dictate which type of muscle fiber is being used and whether metabolism is mainly aerobic or anaerobic. Volatile fatty acids are short chain fatty acids. Beta oxidation is the way in which fat is metabolized. Fat and carbohydrates are the 2 main sources of energy. Pyruvate is either converted to lactic acid in the blood stream or to acetyl coa, which forms atp. Most atp produces via the kreb"s cycle are produced indirectly via the electron transport chain. Most of the horse"s diet is carbohydrate. Metabolism is down regulated when there is a lot of end product. Some breeds tend to be better at anaerobic exercise and some tend to be better at aerobic exercise. Pssm and tying up can reduce glycogen storage capacity. A high atp/adp ratio down regulates metabolism. In theory, metabolic capacity can be improved through diet, exercise, and maintenance of a healthy weight. All body systems communicate via the atp/adp ratio.
