Neoglucogenesis or gluconeogenesis is a metabolic pathway that takes place in the liver and kidney for the formation of glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors during conditions like starving, stress, high protein diet, and prolonged exercise. It maintains body's glucose homeostasis whenever dietary carbohydrate becomes insufficient. It provides continuous energy supply to vital organs like the brain, cornea, kidney, red blood cells, etc., even if the glycogen stores deplete.
