BLOOD GLUCOSE
Blood Glucose
Blood Glucose
Introduction
Glucose is derived from digestion of dietary carbohydrates, breakdown of glycogen in the liver (glycogenolysis) and production of glucose from amino acid precursors in the liver (gluconeogenesis). In ruminants, the main source of glucose is gluconeogenesis from volatile fatty acids (prioponate) absorbed from rumen by bacterial ...
