Question
Chapter 12.4, Problem 1MI
Summary Introduction
Gluconeogenesis is the metabolic process in which glucose is generated from a non-carbohydrate source like proteins and fats. Gluconeogenesis occurs when the person is under intense starvation, by that time body reserve fat will be highly utilized for energy production. Gluconeogenesis burns calories and produce ATP as energy source. Gluconeogenesis process involves several enzymatic pathways.
