Also notice, though, that we form pyruvate and it's in the liver that we undergo gluconeogenesis. It's in the liver where we undergo gluconeogenesis. And so pyruvate is used to form glucose. And the glucose that we essentially used here is then transported back into the skeleton muscle via the bloodstream. So ultimately, even though we used a glucose here to form that pyruvate, and we used that to essentially attach that ammonium and then transported via the bloodstream via Alanine, the glucose is ultimately returned back to the skeleton muscle tissue. So all that happened here is we ultimately transported this ammonium to our liver.
