Susie has hyperthyroidism. How might this affect ATP production during exercise?
What will be an ideal response?
Normally, only 20-25% of energy released during metabolism is converted to ATP. With hyperthyroidism, the
oxidative phosphorylation is uncoupled, resulting in increased heat production. Therefore, this individual will be
less efficient in ATP production. (Energy released during metabolism = Heat +ATP production). See the
"Temperature Regulation During Exercise" section of the chapter. For information on hyperthyroidism, refer to
Chapter 23.
