What is gluconeogenesis?

Open in App

Solution

Gluconeogenesis:
Gluconeogenesis is a process that turns non-carbohydrate substrates such as lactate, amino acids, and glycerol into glucose.
Both lactate and alanine are transformed to pyruvate before entering the mitochondrion and being carboxylated to oxaloacetate (OAA) by pyruvate carboxylase (PC).
