And because this concentration decreases, it can no longer inhibit the enzymes of gluconeogenesis. And so this basically means gluconeogenesis will essentially be activated, while glycolysis will basically decrease in the rate at which it actually takes place. Now, why does that actually make sense? Well, if we have low blood glucose levels, what that means is we essentially want to create more glucose molecules. Why? Well, because the cells of our body, such as red blood cells, our brain cells, our skeleton muscle cells, our cardiac muscle cells and so forth, all these different types of cells depend on glucose that is present in the blood.
