:::::The dotted line excludes the metabolic processes in muscle that use an extrinsic source of energy and oxygen, and that require the removal of metabolites from the muscle fibre. Under these circumstances, 3 moles of ATP are regenerated per mole of glucose consumed. In contrast, 36 moles are regenerated per mole of glucose metabolised through the citric acid cycle. The latter process is, however, effective only if an adequate blood supply is available. This cannot occur for all muscles during all periods of activity.
