Under conditions of extreme hypoxia (as (yielding 38 mol of ATP per mole of oxidized
found in postmortem muscle), oxygen sup- glucose-1-P produced from glycogen or
plies are depleted because blood flow is not 36 mol if the initial substrate is glucose),
sufficient (or does not exist), and myoglobin or if it ends in lactate via the anaerobic gly-
oxygen reserves are depleted if this state con- colysis pathway. The anaerobic pathway,
tinues long enough. Prior to exsanguination, while comparatively less efficient (yielding
the oxidation of glycogen or other substrates 3 mol of ATP per mole of glucose-1-P pro-
to form water and carbon dioxide via oxida- duced from glycogen or 2 mol if the initial
tive phosphorylation is a very efficient way substrate is glucose), is much better at pro-
for the cell to regenerate ATP. However, ducing ATP at a higher rate
