Fat can be converted to glucose primarily through a process known as gluconeogenesis, which occurs in plants and some bacteria, but not in animals. In this process, glycerol, a component of fat, can be transformed into glucose. The discussion emphasizes the biochemical pathways involved in gluconeogenesis, including the reactions, mechanisms, and schemes that illustrate how glycerol and other substrates are utilized to synthesize glucose. For further information, resources such as academic articles, slideshows, and e-books on metabolic pathways and gluconeogenesis are recommended to provide a deeper understanding of these biochemical processes.
