2. 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.

4. 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...

10. Gluconeogenesis
    `Gluconeogenesis` (abbreviated `GNG`) is a metabolic pathway that results in the generation of glucose from non-carbohydrate carbon substrates such as lactate, glycerol, and glucogenic amino acids. It is one of the two main mechanisms humans and many other animals use to keep blood glucose levels fr...
