Sentences with phrase «glucose via gluconeogenesis»

It's lower carb, and some protein will be converted to glucose via gluconeogenesis.

They can not be stored directly as energy, so they are converted to glucose via gluconeogenesis.

Unfortunately, the leading exercise physiology textbook also claims a «low - carbohydrate diet sets the stage for a significant loss of lean tissue as the body recruits amino acids from muscle to maintain blood glucose via gluconeogenesis [2].»

Unfortunately, in the carbohydrate dependency paradigm, your body routinely converts lean muscle tissue into glucose via gluconeogenesis to meet your energy needs, especially for the brain (only two percent of body weight, but consuming 20 - 25 percent of total calories!)

Eating slightly more protein will not kick you out of ketosis because not all excess protein converts into glucose via gluconeogenesis.

It also explains the increased protein oxidation and loss of lean mass reported in the first leg of the keto arm: they had to sacrifice lean tissue to convert into glucose via gluconeogenesis until they achieved full ketoadapation and glucose homeostasis.

Conversely, when blood glucose levels are low, hepatocytes respond to glucagon and glucocorticoids by decreasing glycogen storage and producing glucose via gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis.

Not exact matches

«Under stressful conditions, cortisol provides the body with glucose by tapping into protein stores via gluconeogenesis in the liver.

Although a small amount of glucose is still needed, our body can produce glucose on demand via gluconeogenesis.

The fact that glucose can be formed via gluconeogenesis does not prevent the emergence of glucose deficiency conditions, because the degree of gluconeogenesis is hormonally controlled and may be insufficient to maintain all normal glucose functions.

After three weeks, the acclimation (we call it «keto - adaptation») is usually complete and brain cells start to thrive on a mix of ketones and the small amount of glucose produced in the liver via gluconeogenesis in the complete absence of carbohydrates.

In fact, our body can make enough glucose from protein and even from fat stores via gluconeogenesis.

and by using ketones and fatty acids to create a bit more glucose for the brain via gluconeogenesis in a fairly «energy inefficient» process.

Although your body still needs some glucose, it can produce it on demand via gluconeogenesis.

Our body is a magnificent machine that makes its own glucose as and when it needs it, via a metabolic process called gluconeogenesis.

Whether that glucose comes from carbohydrates, from protein via gluconeogenesis, or from glycerol (a byproduct of fatty acid metabolism), excess amounts in the blood stream that aren't immediately used are transported by insulin to muscle and liver cells and get converted to glycogen.

Protein needs consist of a fixed amount of protein, around 70 kJ, to meet structural needs, plus enough protein to make up any dietary glucose deficiency via gluconeogenesis.

This is because excess proteins can be converted by the body into glucose via a process called gluconeogenesis.

Contrary to the popular belief that a constant intake of carbs are necessary for healthy brain and nervous system function, our body, via the liver, makes both glucose (gluconeogenesis) and ketone bodies (ketosis) in ample amounts (under the right conditions) to fuel most of the athlete's brain & nervous system needs under all but racing or long brick training conditions.

Is it healthier to eat starches, and in fact go out of one's way to do it, for the necessary glucose, or is it better to let the body make its own from other sources, i.e. gluconeogenesis via glycerol from fat or from lactate and amino acids.

When you don't use the protein you consume for energy, the amino acids that make up the protein are converted to glucose (sugar) via a process known as gluconeogenesis.

Adhering to these traditional concepts the US Department of Agriculture has concluded that diets, which reduce calories, will result in effective weight loss independent of the macronutrient composition, which is considered less important, even irrelevant.14 In contrast with these views, the majority of ad - libitum studies demonstrate that subjects who follow a low - carbohydrate diet lose more weight during the first 3 — 6 months compared with those who follow balanced diets.15, 16, 17 One hypothesis is that the use of energy from proteins in VLCKD is an «expensive» process for the body and so can lead to a «waste of calories», and therefore increased weight loss compared with other «less - expensive» diets.13, 18, 19 The average human body requires 60 — 65 g of glucose per day, and during the first phase of a diet very low in carbohydrates this is partially (16 %) obtained from glycerol, with the major part derived via gluconeogenesis from proteins of either dietary or tissue origin.12 The energy cost of gluconeogenesis has been confirmed in several studies7 and it has been calculated at ∼ 400 — 600 Kcal / day (due to both endogenous and food source proteins.18 Despite this, there is no direct experimental evidence to support this intriguing hypothesis; on the contrary, a recent study reported that there were no changes in resting energy expenditure after a VLCKD.20 A simpler, perhaps more likely, explanation for improved weight loss is a possible appetite - suppressant action of ketosis.

One correction though — your brain does not need carbohydrates, it needs glucose, and you can also get that from protein via gluconeogenesis.
