Cerebral Gluconeogenesis and Diseases

Use of 2H2O for estimating rates of gluconeogenesis Application to the fasted state B R Landau, … , K Ekberg, S C Kalhan

The first step of gluconeogenesis that bypasses an irreversible step of glycolysis, namely the reaction catalyzed by pyruvate kinase, is the

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 occurs during prolonged starvation or overnight fasting, mostly in liver and kidney to provide glucose to brain and RBCs As
