c0040 Gluconeogenesis and Glycogen Metabolism 8

Gluconeogenesis from lactate, glycerol, propionyl coA gluconeogenesis The process of gluconeogenesis becomes increasingly important when the liver is unable to produce enough glucose from the breakdown of liver glycogen stores via gluconeogenesis Gluconeogenesis is not simply the reverse of glycolysis; it utilizes unique enzymes (pyruvate carboxylase, PEPCK, fructose-1,6- bisphosphatase, and glucose-6-

gluconeogenesis Gluconeogenesis Gluconeogenesis is the generation of glucose from non-sugar carbon substrates like pyruvate, lactate, glycerol, and glucogenic amino acids The
