Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gluconeogenesis is not stimulated by insulin, but rather by glucagon and other hormones such as cortisol and growth hormone. Gluconeogenesis is the process by which the liver synthesizes glucose from non-carbohydrate sources such as lactate, amino acids, and glycerol, resulting in an increase in blood glucose levels.
