The starting material for gluconeogenesis is usually pyruvate, which can be converted into glucose through a series of enzymatic reactions. Other precursors such as lactate, amino acids, and glycerol can also be used to generate glucose through gluconeogenesis.
The precursors for gluconeogenesis include lactate, glycerol, and glucogenic amino acids. These substrates can be converted into pyruvate, which then enters the gluconeogenesis pathway to produce glucose.
Some amino acids can be converted into intermediates that are used in gluconeogenesis, the process by which the body synthesizes glucose from non-carbohydrate sources. This occurs when there is a need for glucose as an energy source, such as during fasting or prolonged exercise. The carbon skeletons of certain amino acids can serve as precursors for glucose production through gluconeogenesis.
During gluconeogenesis in the postabsorptive state, amino acids and lactate are converted to glucose. Amino acids are primarily derived from muscle protein breakdown and can be used as substrates for gluconeogenesis to maintain blood glucose levels. Lactate is another important precursor for glucose production via gluconeogenesis in the liver.
TRUE
Amino acids are the primary nutrients that undergo gluconeogenesis, with certain amino acids like alanine and glutamine playing significant roles in providing carbon skeletons for glucose production. In addition to amino acids, glycerol from triglycerides can also be used for gluconeogenesis.

Cortisol
The fructose-1-phosphate inhibits gluconeogenesis through the enzyme aldolase.
The anabolic role of gluconeogenesis is to break new glucose molecules from non-carbohydrate precursors.

Increased ethanol will give increased NADH. Because NADH levels are higher, the body will produce more pyruvate and less lactate. Since lactate is a precursor for gluconeogenesis, gluconeogenesis will decrease.
Yes, acetyl-CoA is not glucogenic because it cannot be converted into glucose directly. However, it can indirectly contribute to gluconeogenesis by being converted into oxaloacetate, a key intermediate in the gluconeogenesis pathway.
Thyroxine upregulates catecholamine receptors which is equivalent to increasing sympathetic tonus and thus directly contributing to increased gluconeogenesis.
