gluconeogenesis Flashcards
What is gluconeogenesis ? What is gucose is the major source of fuel for ? After overnite fasting where is it used ?
What happens during prolonged fasting kidndey which organ provides most of the glucose ?
Where is glycerol come? lactate ? and amino acid ?

During fasting where is glucuse produced ? how about prolong fasting ?
When is glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis used ?

Are glycolysis reactions freely reversible , what are they used for ? What happens to the remaining reactions
