Abstract
One major role of the liver is to form glucose from lactate and other precursors through gluconeogenesis, a process which operates both in the fed and the fasted animal. The reverse conversion is catalyzed by glycolysis and the simultaneous operation of these two metabolic pathways would be responsible for a futile recycling of metabolites.
