Abstract excerpt
Gluconeogenesis, or the formation of glucose from mainly lactate/ pyruvate, glycerol and alanine, plays an essential role in the maintenance of normoglycaemia during fasting. Inborn deficiencies are known of each of the four enzymes of the glycolytic-gluconeogenic pathway that ensure a unidirectional flux from pyruvate to glucose: pyruvate carboxylase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase,...
