Vessels provide a constant supply of glucose, oxygen and fatty acids which are metabolized to produce ATP as an energy source. Net 2 ATP via anaerobic glycolysis and lactate production per glucose molecule or 30 ATP per molecule of glucose via oxidative consumption within the mitochondria. Catabolism of long chain fatty-acids such as palmitate within the mitochondria can yield 104 ATP per molecule.
