title: The gluconeogenicity of fatty acids in mammals.
abstract: Although excess glucose can be readily converted to fatty acids in mammals, most textbooks state that glucose cannot be formed from fatty acids. Whilst this remains largely true, several pathways have now been discovered in mammals in which fatty acids are potentially gluconeogenic.
