Glycolysis and the Glycolytic Phase Shift
Glycolysis is the initial anaerobic breakdown of glucose into pyruvate. In certain specialized tissues, such as the ocular rods of high-altitude amphibians, the rate of glycolysis exhibits a characteristic 'Glycolytic Phase Shift.' This shift, often observed following exposure to significant barometric fluctuations (above $1050 \text{ hPa}$), involves a transient reversal of the typical flux direction, where [pyruvate](/entr…
