5. During prolonged fasting, amino acids derived from muscle proteins andconnective tissue become the main substrate for gluconcogenesis. How doesglutamate enter the gluconeogenesis? For answer:a) write a reaction of the glutamate conversion into a-ketoglutarate, name theenzyme, indicate the encrgy effect of the reaction;b) draw a diagram for the a-ketoglutarate conversion to oxaloacetate andconsequent including of OAA to gluconcogenesis, specify the reactionsassociated with ATP consumption;c) name the hormones that accelerate gluconeogenesis during fasting andregulatory enzymes of the process; and describe the mechanism of signaltransduction by these hormones.
