The muscle starts to pull its load, but glucose use is slow | Because [Pi] and [ADP] and [AMP] are low. | CHORUS: | Necessary but not sufficient: | Something's there and yet something's missin', | And the textbook authors sure will be surprised. | High metabolites? Not sufficient. | Muscles pulling tight? Not sufficient. | The two must coexist for flux to rise. | Contraction ends, and once again, the glucose use subsides. | This sudden drop cannot be stopped by high metabolites. | CHORUS
