Concept introduction:
The liver is a large organ that is situated on the right side of the abdomen. Its main functions are the metabolism of fats and proteins, enzyme activation, secretion of hormones and bilirubin, and storage of glycogen, minerals, and vitamins. In the digestion process, it helps by producing bile juice.

“gluconeogenesis in the liver is activated by?”
Working at cross-purposes? Gluconeogenesis takes place during intense exercise, which seems counterintuitive. Why would an organism synthesize glucose and at the same time use glucose to generate energy?
