We respect your privacy. If you feel a pain in your leg, itâs likely a cramp or a pulled muscle. But it could be a much more serious condition: blood clots of deep vein thrombosis, also called DVT. While relatively rare â DVT affects about 300,000 to 600,000 people in the United States â it can have serious health consequences.
Fermentation occurs because sugar contains energy. Microorganizism can break down sugars and extract some of the energy using fermentation in the absence of oxygen. Your body can do the same thing. First a carbon dioxide compound is removed from the sugar leaving a radical.
Lactic acid fermentation occurs in humans mostly during vigorous activity or exercise. Fermentation is the process of producing ATP in the absence of oxygen through glycolysis alone. Lactic acid fermentation converts the 3-carbon pyruvate to the 3-carbon lactic acid and regenerates NAD+ in the process, allowing glycolysis to continue to make ATP in low oxygen conditions.
