Slow glycolysis refers to a more gradual, less intense form of glucose metabolism, which occurs in cells that rely on aerobic conditions. This term is often used in the context of muscle cells during prolonged exercise or in cells that predominantly use oxidative phosphorylation for energy. Slow glycolysis produces less lactate and can efficiently continue as long as oxygen is available, making it less likely to accumulate lactic acid.
