Sentences with phrase «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.

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.

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.

If glucose stores run low, the liver can make new glucose via the gluconeogenesis process.

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

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.

Another very recent study reveals leptin's importance in directly regulating how much sugar that the liver manufactures 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].»

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

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

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

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

All the excess protein gets converted to glucose via gluconeogenesis.

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!)

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

Are you one of the folks claiming «Look, we can manufacture our own glucose, via gluconeogenesis... thus, we don't need carbs.»?
