Glucagon increases the production of glucose by increasing glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis in the liver, and by reducing glycogenesis and glycolysis. The release of glucagon in response to food ...

A new pathway for regulation of glucose production in response to insulin and nutrients has been proposed in a study in mice published in Nature Medicine. The increase in insulin levels that occurs ...

Parasitic protozoa called trypanosomes synthesize sugars using an unexpected metabolic pathway called gluconeogenesis, according to a new study. The authors note that this metabolic flexibility may be ...
