Gluconeogenesis is a crucial pathway where pyruvate is converted to phosphoenolpyruvate through multiple steps involving enzymes like pyruvate carboxylase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase. This process occurs in the mitochondria and cytosol, requiring coenzymes like biotin and GTP. Alternate pa

Corticosteroids, including glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids, play vital roles in intermediary metabolism, immune responses, and inflammation regulation. They bind to specific receptors in the cell, entering the nucleus to influence gene transcription and protein production. These hormones have

Blood glucose regulation is crucial for energy supply in the body, particularly for brain function. Understanding the balance of glucose entering and leaving the blood through processes like absorption, glycogenolysis, and gluconeogenesis is vital. Hormones like insulin and glucagon play key roles i

Glucose homeostasis is crucial for controlling glucose metabolism and maintaining normal blood glucose levels in the body. It involves various metabolic sources, including dietary intake and gluconeogenesis. The liver plays a vital role in regulating blood glucose levels, while severe hypo- and hype

Corticosteroids are steroid hormones produced by the adrenal cortex, divided into glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids. They play crucial roles in metabolism, immunity, inflammation, and electrolyte balance. Glucocorticoids like cortisol stimulate gluconeogenesis, influence glucose levels, and hav

In this case study, the Atkins and Mediterranean diets are compared in terms of their impact on metabolic health. The Atkins diet focuses on low carbohydrate intake, leading to gluconeogenesis and changes in insulin levels. On the other hand, the Mediterranean diet emphasizes unsaturated fats from p
