Synthesis and use of glucose in the human body

Description
Liver and kidney cortex are the primary gluconeogenic tissues.

Brain, skeletal muscle, kidney medulla, erythrocytes, and testes use glucose as their sole or primary energy source, but they lack the enzymatic machinery to synthesize it.

Synthesis of glucose from noncarbohydrate precursors is essential for maintenance of blood glucose levels within acceptable limits.
