gluconeogensis or not?

question from destroyer: can animals convert fatty acids into glucose?
It says no. I think we can because of gluconeogenesis in the liver...it takes non-carbohydrates and converts them to glucose, no?

secondly, does the ADA send your previous scores along with the new ones to the schools when you do a retake?
thanks everyone.

It likely says no because fatty acids are broken down to acetyl coA, which cannot be converted to pyruvate (pyruvate is converted to acetyl coA, but the process is irreversible). Pyruvate is a necessary product for gluconeogenesis.

Hmmmmmm. because I think "YES".

The logical reason behind my answer to this question is follow;

When blood sugar is low, glucagon signals the adipocytes to activate hormone http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormone_sensitive_lipase, and to convert triglycerides into free fatty acids. These have very low solubility in the blood. However, the most abundant protein in blood, albumin , binds free fatty acids, thus transports fatty acids to organs such as muscle and liver for oxidation ( gluconeogenesis) when blood sugar is low. Please someone confirm me? THanks! 🙂

Yes, " the ADA send your previous scores along with the new ones to the schools when you do a retake". or you can call ADA service and can ask directly for confirmation.

glucagon is released in response to low blood sugar. the reasoning for the release of the fatty acids is so the tissue with the energy demand will use the fatty acids as an energy source as oposed to the glucose. the fatty acids undergo beta oxidation (with acetyl-CoA product which enters kreb's) which is how they are able to sustain the energy demands of that particular tissue.

Non-carbohydrates like amino acids/proteins and the glycerol portion of "fats" can be used, but not actual fatty acids.

thanks for your replies.
ADA does send the number of times you have taken the DAT and NOT the scores you got.
