Question

If the sinoatrial node fails in the heart does the heart stop beating, do the ventricles beat at a higher rate, can an artificial pacemaker correct the problem, or would it not affect the heartbeat at all?

Answer 1

The metabolic pathway, gluconeogenesis, is the synthesis of glucose from three- and four-carbon molecules, such as pyruvate. These molecules can be synthesized from some amino acids and triglycerides. The body will also use gluconeogenesis if too much of the glucose has been converted into pyruvate through glycolysis.
