About this listen
This podcast explains how the human body adapts its metabolic pathways to manage pyruvate based on its nutritional status. In the well-fed state, high glucose levels allow pyruvate to fuel the TCA cycle for energy or assist in creating nonessential amino acids. Conversely, during fasting or physical exertion, the body shifts toward gluconeogenesis to synthesize new glucose from available resources. This process involves converting substances like lactate and alanine from the muscles back into pyruvate within the liver. Ultimately, the source highlights the body’s metabolic flexibility in maintaining energy balance through varying physiological conditions.
