   gluconeogenesis
   Synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors, such as pyruvate, amino acids and glycerol. Takes place largely in liver, and serves to maintain blood glucose under conditions of starvation or intense exercise.

   Gluconeogenesis
   `Gluconeogenesis` is the generation of glucose from non-sugar carbon substrates like pyruvate, lactate, glycerol, and glucogenic amino acids. The vast majority of gluconeogenesis takes place in the liver and, to a smaller extent, in the cortex of kidneys. This process occurs during periods of fasting, starvation, or intense exercise and is highly endergonic. Gluconeogenesis is often associated with ketosis.

   gluconeogenesis
   (gloo″ko-ne″o-jen´ә-sis) the synthesis of glucose from noncarbohydrate sources, such as amino acids or glycerol. It occurs primarily in the liver and kidneys whenever the supply of carbohydrates is insufficient to meet the body's energy needs. Gluconeogenesis is stimulated by cortisol and other glucoco...
