  • Summary

  • In this episode, we explore gluconeogenesis, the vital metabolic process that synthesizes glucose from non-carbohydrate sources during times of fasting, starvation, or intense exercise. Discover how this energy-intensive pathway keeps your brain fueled and blood sugar stable, even when dietary glucose is scarce. We break down the key steps, unique enzymes, and complex regulation that distinguishes gluconeogenesis from glycolysis. We’ll also dive into the Cori and glucose-alanine cycles, inter-organ cooperation, and the clinical significance of this pathway in conditions like diabetes and athletic performance.
