Glucose-Alanine Cycle Pyruvate Recycling

The video explains the glucose-alanine cycle, comparing it to the Cori cycle. While both cycles involve the conversion of glucose to pyruvate, the glucose-alanine cycle uses alanine instead of lactate. In the muscle, pyruvate is converted to alanine, which travels to the liver and is converted back to pyruvate and then glucose. This cycle is more prevalent under aerobic conditions, whereas the Cori cycle is used in anaerobic conditions.
