| | Gluconeogenesis: The Body Makes It Own Carbs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | Gluconeogenesis (Pronounced GLUE-CO-NAY-OH-GEN-EH-SIS), also known as GNG (that's easier to say anyway, isn't it?), is the body's way of creating glucose, or sugar carbs, out of the breakdown of proteins in the liver. |
 | | During gluconeogenesis, blood glucose levels in the body are normalized and maintained when the glucose is synthesized in the liver. |
 | | Once you grasp the concept of gluconeogenesis, you are light years ahead of most people in understanding better about the low-carb lifestyle and what makes it so special in the realm of diet, health and nutrition. |
