Connecting Other Sugars to Glucose Metabolism
Sugars, such as galactose, fructose, and glycogen, are catabolized into new products in order to enter the glycolytic pathway.
Connecting Proteins to Glucose Metabolism
Excess amino acids are converted into molecules that can enter the pathways of glucose catabolism.
Connecting Lipids to Glucose Metabolism
Lipids can be both made and broken down through parts of the glucose catabolism pathways.
