Question

Laboratory rats and mice live up to 40% longer than usual when fed a diet of at least 30% fewer calories than that which they would normally eat, but that otherwise contains all necessary vitamins and nutrients..

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.
