Elevated ATP demand for detoxification and repair mechanisms leading to impaired locomotor activity Cellular ATP demand and locomotor performance Evgeniia Kazymova <p>Christopher G. Goodchild</p> <p>Oklahoma State University</p> <p>Department of Integrative Biology</p> All rights reserved 2.0 <p>The oxygen demand needed to facilitate elevated macromolecule catabolism and oxidative phosphorylation at the cellular level may alter energy allocation at the whole-organism level, causing impaired locomotor performance. For instance, contaminants that elevate oxygen demand for basal metabolism may reduce an organism&#39;s aerobic scope (i.e., [maximum metabolic rate - basal metabolic rate]) and reduced aerobic can impair locomotor performance.</p> AOPWiki 2018-08-03T20:55:30 2023-09-25T16:26:58
