The Lactic Acid Cycle, also known as the Cori Cycle, is a metabolic pathway that occurs in the body during anaerobic respiration. When muscles are active and oxygen levels are low, glucose is converted into lactic acid to produce energy. This process allows for continued energy production during intense exercise. After the exercise, lactic acid is transported to the liver, where it is converted back into glucose through gluconeogenesis. This cycle helps to recycle lactic acid and maintain energy levels, ensuring that the body can recover and continue functioning efficiently after strenuous activity.
