Example sentences for: gluconeogenesis

How can you use “gluconeogenesis” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (Pck1) is the rate-limiting enzyme of gluconeogenesis, and most of its activity is regulated transcriptionally.

  • Feeding of all three LC-PUFA diets led to an increase in hepatic Pck1 transcription, indicating gluconeogenesis was favored over glycolysis.

  • Whereas USF induces expression of enzymes involved in glycolysis, C/EBPβ regulates gluconeogenesis mainly by activating phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) [ 36 37 ] .

  • The comparatively low expression level of the PEPCK gene in 4-day-old shoots weakens the hypothesis that its major function in maize is for gluconeogenesis in greening seedling parts.

  • Numerous hepatic genes containing SRE promoters were regulated by LC-PUFA in the present experiments, including SREBP-1 itself (consistent with [ 35 36 ] ). Also regulated were genes involved in triacylglycerol synthesis (Gpam), FA synthesis and elongation (Acas1, Acly, FA synthase, Spot14, Elovl2; Elovl2 may speculatively contain an SRE as described by Moon and colleagues [ 35 ] ), FA desaturation (Scd1), gluconeogenesis (Pck1), cytochrome p450 metabolism (Cyp4a-10 and -14), FA transport (Cd36), cholesterol metabolism and transport (Fpps), and ketone body formation (mitochondrial Hmgcs2).
