available substrates is obtained by step-by-step, enzymatically controlled substrate metabolism and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, in which the energy content of fuels is transferred to the high-energy phosphate bonds of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). In turn, the energy necessary to produce contractile work from hydrolysis of ATP is produced primarily from the metabolism of carbohydrates and FFAs glucose metabolism is an important source of energy. It consists of two main components: glycolysis
