Question
Chapter 25, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A balanced equation for the synthesis of glucose from aspartate should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Aspartate is taken into account to be the supply of carbons for gluconeogenesis whereas transamination of aspartate to -ketoglutarate generates salt. Thus, the step that utilizes energy in gluconeogenesis is bypassed once aspartate is
