Experts describe gluconeogenesis as the process by which the liver contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels (and thus energy metabolism) through synthesis of glucose. This process occurs in the fasting state, such as at night, and requires the presence of amino acids, lactate, and glycerol.
Gluconeogenesis: the bodyâs back-up plan. The body may be a lazy bastard, but it keeps a few tricks up its sleeves. If thereâs no more glucose nor glycogen to be had, a process called gluconeogenesis begins in the liver (long one, but break it down: âglucoâ = glucose, âneoâ = new, âgenesisâ = to make). Gluconeogenesis is the reason why you donât actually need any dietary carbohydrates whatsoever to keep rattling down the street.
