<strong>Gluconeogenesis</strong>1. Introduction- Converts pyruvate <strong>and</strong> other precursors into glucose to maintain constant serum glucose levelto supply brain, blood cells, etc., with fuel- Most gluconeogenesis occurs in the liver, the major exporter of glucose (also in cortex ofkidney)- 7 of 10 glycolytic reactions are utilized by gluconeogenesis:GlucoseGlucose 6-phosphateFructose 6-phosphateFructose 1,6-bisphosphateDihydroxyacetone phosphateGlyceraldehyde 3-phosphateGlycerol (fats)1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate3-Phosphoglycerate2-PhosphoglyceratePhosphoenopyruvateOxaloacetateAmino acidsPyruvateLactateAmino acids
