'Originally posted by Werewolf:Let me give you two definitions first:
(1) Gluconeogenesis is the biosynthesis of new glucose, (i.e. not glucose from glycogen). The production of glucose from other metabolites is necessary for use as a fuel source
--> Can occur in plants/humans
--> Substrates in humans include lactate and/or pyruvate
(2) Glycogen is formed by the liver from glucose in the bloodstream and is stored in the liver; conversion of glucose to glycogen (glycogenesis) and hydrolysis of glycogen to glucose (glycogenolysis) together are the usual mechanism for maintenance of normal levels of blood sugar
--> This is the process which you're referring to I believe.....
However, note that formation/breakdown of glycogen depends on glucose levels in your body which is tightly regulated.
Glycogen <---------> Glucose:
This pathway depends on the amount of glucose in your body. Basically, what starblue said is correct. Upon consumation of a meal, the level of glucose in your body should RISE which shifts the reaction TOWARDS glycogen. Therefore, you should have Glycogen <---- Glucose.
However, after your body (mainly your brain) uses up glucose for aerobic metabolism, you need glucose as an energy source. Thus, it now becomes Glycogen ---> Glucose.
Note that this process is a CONVERSION. Not synthesis.....
Please refer to point 1 for glucose synthesis as I do not wish to extend my post too long![]()
