Define anaerobic glycolysis and neoglucogenesis

Anaerobic glycolysis:

Oxidation of glucose in the absence of oxygen is called anaerobic glycolysis. In anaerobic glycolusis net ATP production is 2 ATP.

Sites:

·        Mature red blood cell

·        Leukocytes

·        Lens and cornea of the eyes

·        Renal medulla

·        Testes

Neoglucogenesis:

Neoglucogenesis is the synthesis of carbohydrates fro noncarbohydrate precursors. eg. Lactate, pyruvate, glycerol, glucogenic amino acid.
