TLDR
It is suggested that the presence of fructose diphosphatase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase in white muscle may be related to operation of the alpha-glycerophosphate-dihydroxyacetone phosphate and malate-oxaloacetate cycles in this tissue.Abstract:
1. The activities of fructose 1,6-diphosphatase were measured in extracts of muscles of various physiological function, and compared with the activities of other enzymes including phosphofructokinase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and the lactate-dehydrogenase isoenzymes. 2. The activity of phosphofructokinase greatly exceeded that of fructose diphosphatase in all muscles tested, and it is concluded that fructose diphosphatase could not play any significant role in the regulation of fructose 6-phosphate phosphorylation in muscle. 3. Fructose-diphosphatase activity was highest in white muscle and low in red muscle. No activity was detected in heart or a deep-red skeletal muscle, rabbit semitendinosus. 4. The lactate-dehydrogenase isoenzyme ratio (activities at high and low substrate concentration) was measured in various muscles because a low ratio is characteristic of muscles that are more dependent on glycolysis for their energy production. As the ratio decreased the activity of fructose diphosphatase increased, which suggests that highest fructose-diphosphatase activity is found in muscles that depend most on glycolysis. 5. There was a good correlation between the activities of fructose diphosphatase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase in white muscle, where the activities of these enzymes were similar to those of liver and kidney cortex. However, the activities of pyruvate carboxylase and glucose 6-phosphatase were very low in white muscle, thereby excluding the possibility of gluconeogenesis from pyruvate and lactate. 6. It is suggested that the presence of fructose diphosphatase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase in white muscle may be related to operation of the α-glycerophosphate–dihydroxyacetone phosphate and malate–oxaloacetate cycles in this tissue.read more

TL;DR: Fatty acid oxidation is suppressed in ischemic hearts leading to accumulation of long-chained CoA derivatives and increase in triglyceride levels, and the acceleration of flux through glycolysis may be as much as 10to 20-fold.

Oxidative capacity of the skeletal muscle and lactic acid kinetics during exercise in normal subjects and in patients with COPD.
TL;DR: It is concluded that in COPD the increase in arterial La during exercise is excessive, the oxidative capacity of the skeletal muscle is reduced, and that these two results are interrelated.

Skeletal muscle adaptation to endurance training in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
TL;DR: It is concluded that endurance training can reduce exercise-induced lactic acidosis and improve skeletal muscle oxidative capacity in patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
