I hope you had a great celebration before the not so pleasant stuff arrived!

Essentially sugar (glucose) undergoes the same reaction that converts it to ethanol in yeast and bacterial cells, when fermenting spirits.<br /><br />You mostly see this while doing physical exercises while out of shape. Since your body is not used to using muscles in that capacity, the amount of oxygen that can be delivered to carry out the normal breakdown of glucose in glycolysis to pyruvate and then following the citric acid cycle to make oxaloacetate, which is further processed using oxidative phosphorylation. In that process some 30 to 38 molecules of ATP are formed. <br /><br />However, that process requires a lot of oxygen, and when the cells cannot get enough oxygen to carry out the required reactions, they are relegated to breaking down pyruvate in a process known as fermentation. In animal cells, the process creates lactic acid, which creates the soreness in your muscles after a strenuous workout the next morning.<br /><br />I'm guessing the inability to process sugar normally in your body led to an overcreation of lactic acid, resulting in the symptoms.<br /><br />Then again, I got a C in biochemistry, so everything I just said could be complete baloney. :)See to the Ayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16667461328844018451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313795221042048302.post-65668917202842155222011-11-25T10:59:14.599-07:002011-11-25T10:59:14.599-07:00Yeah, the pie and cheesecake was well worth it.

Go figure.<br />I do get weird reactions to MSG, though -- tingling in my arms and legs. So I guess I get "bad trips" on sodium, which might be comparable to your sugar hangover. <br />Oh well. Drink lots of water today. That should help. And I hope the pie was worth it.Lisa Shaferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08141316010311729143noreply@blogger.com
