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 pathway with key molecules and enzymes. Many steps are the opposite of those found in the glycolysis. Gluconeogenesis (abbreviated GNG) is a metabolic pathway that results in the generation of glucose from non-carbohydrate carbon substrates such as lactate, glycerol, and glucogenic amino acids.
