Question
what does your body convert to glucose in the process of protecting you from low blood sugar? also known as gluconeogenesis? a. fat b. neurons c. glucose
Gluconeogenesis is the process by which the body converts non - carbohydrate sources like amino acids (from proteins), lactate, and glycerol (from fats) into glucose. Fat can be a source as glycerol from triglycerides can be used in gluconeogenesis. Neurons are cells and not directly converted to glucose in gluconeogenesis. Glucose is the end - product of gluconeogenesis, not the starting material.
