Chapter 19: Gluconeogenesis & the Control of Blood Glucose
gluconeogenesis Brain and muscle consume most of the glucose • Liver and kidney are the main sites of gluconeogenesis • Substrates include pyruvate, lactate, glycerol, most
Gluconeogenesis Gluconeogenesis is essentially a reversal of glycolysis, and the primary substrates for gluconeogenesis are pyruvate, lactate gluconeogenesis Gluconeogenesis is the formation of new glucose molecules in the body as opposed to glucose that is broken down from the long storage
