Glucose genesis
Accepted Answer
Glucose genesis is the process by which glucose is synthesized from non-carbohydrate precursors. It occurs in the liver and kidneys and is essential for maintaining blood glucose levels during fasting and exercise. The major precursors for glucose genesis are lactate, pyruvate, and alanine. These precursors are converted to glucose-6-phosphate, which is then isomerized to glucose.
