Title: Which of the following occurs during fermentation of pyruvic acid into lactic acid? Post by: oceanbabe38 on Aug 29, 2012 Which of the following occurs during fermentation of pyruvic acid into lactic acid?
1. NAD+ is reduced to NADH 2. NADH is reduced to NAD+ 3. NADH is oxidized to NAD+ 4. None of the above. Thanks! =) Title: Which of the following occurs during fermentation of pyruvic acid into lactic acid? Post by: julietalbot6 on Aug 29, 2012 3."In exercising skeletal muscle, NADH production exceeds the oxidative capacity of the respiratory chain. This results in an elevated NADH/NAD+ ratio, favoring reduction of pyruvate to lactate." In the process NADH is oxidized to NAD+.
Lippincott's Illustrated Reviews - Biochemistry. 3rd edition by Champe, et. al. p. 101. Best wishes and good luck. Title: Which of the following occurs during fermentation of pyruvic acid into lactic acid? Post by: Fire_Fly on Aug 29, 2012 3. NADH is oxidized to NAD+
