Gluconeogenesis
Gluconeogenesis
is the process of forming new glucose from
noncarbohydrate molecules. This pro-cess occurs in the liver when there is
insufficient glu-cose to supply metabolic needs. Glycerol and amino acids are
then converted to glucose. When glucose reserves and dietary sources of glucose
are used up and blood glucose levels start to drop, gluconeogen-esis occurs.
This process is important for protection of the nervous system as well as the
rest of the body from damage due to hypoglycemia. It accomplishes this by
ensuring continued ATP synthesis.
