The Cori cycle (also known as the lactic acid cycle), named after its discoverers, Carl Ferdinand Cori and Gerty Cori, is a metabolic pathway in which lactate, produced by anaerobic glycolysis in muscles, is transported to the liver and converted to glucose, which then returns to the muscles and is cyclically metabolized back to lactate.

Glucose 1-phosphate (also called cori ester) is a glucose molecule with a phosphate group on the 1'-carbon. It can exist in either the α- or β-anomeric form. Reactions of α-glucose 1-phosphate Catabolic. In glycogenolysis, it is the direct product ... Gerty Cori; References

Le cycle de Cori, du nom de Carl Ferdinand Cori et Gerty Theresa Cori, est un cycle complet, dans le foie et les muscles, qui rassemble toute la glycolyse et toute la gluconéogenèse. Dans un sens, il part du glucose pour arriver au pyruvate, puis au lactate par oxydation de NADH, puis repart de celui-ci pour reformer du pyruvate par réduction de NAD+ et finalement du glucose.
