But we can use those amino acids that we obtained by the breakdown to basically form glucose molecules. Now, certain amino acids are transformed into pyruvate, and so they enter gluconeogenesis as pyruvate molecules. Some of them can actually form DHAP molecules, and so they interguineogenesis as DHAP molecules and eventually produce the glucose that our cells actually need for energy for ATP creation. Now, we still really haven't answered a very important but very simple question. Why do our cells, why does our body actually need glucose? Mugenesis why can't we depend solely on the food for our sugar source?
