Prednisone intake for extended periods of time is associated with weight gain. The causes of this weight gain include: Increase in fluid accumulation and total plasma volume as a result of changes in the serum concentration of sodium ions.
Decomposition occurs most rapidly during the thermophilic stage of composting (40-60Â°C), which lasts for several weeks or months depending on the size of the system and the composition of the ingredients. This stage also is important for destroying thermosensitive pathogens, fly larvae, and weed seeds.
Glycolysis is the major pathway of glucose metabolism and occurs in the cytosol of all cells. It can occur aerobically or anaerobically depending on whether oxygen is available. This is clinically significant because oxidation of glucose under aerobic conditions results in 32 mol of ATP per mol of glucose. However, under anaerobic conditions, only 2 mol of ATP can be produced. Aerobic glycolysis occurs in 2 steps. The first occurs in the cytosol and involves the conversion of glucose to pyruvate with resultant production of NADH. This process alone generates 2 molecules of ATP.
