Metabolic Road To & From GLUCOSE

The video tutorial covers the metabolic pathways related to glucose and glycogen, including glycogenesis, glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, and glycolysis. It explains the meanings of 'genesis' and 'lysis', and how these processes regulate blood glucose levels during fasting and exercise. The role of hormones like glucagon, epinephrine, and insulin in these pathways is also discussed, highlighting how they influence glucose production and storage.

What are the non-carbohydrate sources that can be converted into glucose during gluconeogenesis?

How do glucagon and epinephrine influence glucose metabolism?

What happens to blood glucose levels after a meal and how does the body regulate it?

Define glycolysis and its importance in cellular metabolism.
