Gluconeogenesis is :
o The synthesis of glucose from noncarbohydrate precursors. o Other noncarbohydrate precursors are used to be converted to pyruvate then glucose (or on the
path of glycolysis) such as: lactate ,aa, glyceroo During a longer period of starvation, glucose must be formed from noncarbohydrate
sources.o The gluconeogenic pathway converts pyruvate into glucose.
