5. During prolonged fasting, amino acids derived from muscle proteins and connective tissue become the main substrate for gluconcogenesis. How does glutamate enter the gluconeogenesis? For answer: a) write a reaction of the glutamate conversion into a-ketoglutarate, name the enzyme, indicate the encrgy effect of the reaction; b) draw a diagram for the a-ketoglutarate conversion to oxaloacetate and consequent including of OAA to gluconcogenesis, specify the reactions associated with ATP consumption; c) name the hormones that accelerate gluconeogenesis during fasting and regulatory enzymes of the process; and describe the mechanism of signal transduction by these hormones.
