Another adaptation is the Cori cycle, which involves shuttling lipid-derived energy in glucose to peripheral glycolytic tissues, which in turn send the lactate back to the liver for resynthesis to glucose.

This process is activated during rest periods following the Cori cycle, in the liver, and also activated by insulin in response to high glucose levels, for example after a carbohydrate-containing meal.

While at the Institute the Coris research focused on carbohydrate metabolism, leading to the definition of the Cori cycle in 1929 . In 1931 Carl accepted a position at the Washington University School of Medicine in St . Louis, Missouri.

Contrary to common belief, lactic acid accumulation doesn't actually cause the burning sensation we feel when we exhaust our oxygen and oxidative metabolism, but in actuality, lactic acid in presence of oxygen recycles to produce pyruvate in the liver which is known as the Cori cycle.

With her husband Carl and Argentine physiologist Bernardo Houssay, Gerty Cori received the Nobel Prize in 1947 for the discovery of the mechanism by which glycogen a derivative of glucose is broken down in muscle tissue into lactic acid and then resynthesized in the body and stored as a source of energy ( known as the Cori cycle ).
