| 41. | During gluconeogenesis, pyruvate carboxylase is involved in the synthesis of phosphoenolpyruvate ( PEP ) from pyruvate.
|
| 42. | It affects glucose metabolism in the liver by inhibiting glycogen synthesis, stimulating glycogenolysis and enchancing gluconeogenesis.
|
| 43. | Increased protein is beneficial to support gluconeogenesis from amino acids during endurance events and to aid recovery.
|
| 44. | Although it is important in catabolism, NADH is also used in anabolic reactions, such as gluconeogenesis.
|
| 45. | Phosphoglucose isomerase ( PGI ) is a housekeeping cytosolic enzyme with roles in both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis pathways.
|
| 46. | This can be seen in the continuing gluconeogenesis in the liver even when blood glucose levels are elevated.
|
| 47. | Inhibition of beta-oxidation of fatty acids, however, also depletes a necessary cofactor for gluconeogenesis.
|
| 48. | Although gluconeogenesis and glycolysis share many intermediates the one is not functionally a branch or tributary of the other.
|
| 49. | Excess amino acids from protein can be converted into glucose and used for fuel through a process called gluconeogenesis.
|
| 50. | Gluconeogenesis is one of several main mechanisms used by humans and many other animals to maintain fatty acid breakdown.
