gingerbread wrote: the biochemical mechanism for alcoholic hypoglycemia is that the increased NADH/NAD will decrease the rate of gluconeogenesis, because that increased ration diverts the metabolites that are used for gluconeogenesis away from that pathway, e.g: increased formation of glycerol from DHAP, and increased formation of lactate from pyruvate ,if we consider the AA coming through the cori cycle will yeild a pyruvate molecule, which is the pathway that AA go through during gluconeogenesis.. perfect answer we should know this by heart also how does alcohol get to increase lipids and cause fatty liver
