A lot of people have heard the terms aerobics and anaerobic‚ but most people don’t know what those terms mean. These two terms refer to the presence and absence of oxygen. Our bodies cells choose to get the energy that they need using oxygen to fuel metabolism. During an aerobic activity the muscle cells can contract repeatedly without fatigue. During anaerobics the muscle cell doesn’t rely on oxygen to fuel the muscle contractions. It relies on its natural body chemicals. Aerobics is a low

can occur‚ 1) it is metabolized faster than glucose and 2) since fructose is independent of phosphofructose kinase (PFK) regulation‚ overconsumption of fructose (>40g in a 2000 calorie diet)‚ results in increases of levels of visceral adipose tissue (VAT)‚ and increased hepatic lipid levels from de nova lipogenesis. This reaction results in increased very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) synthesis and secreation.4 The over consumption of fructose might be explained by the insufficient signaling
