High-Yield Explanation
Glucose-alanine cycle- cahill cycle * Alanine also plays a special role in transpoing amino groups to the liver in a nontoxic form, a pathway called the glucose-alanine cycle * In muscle and ceain other tissues that degrade amino acids for fuel, amino groups are collected in the form of glutamate by transamination. * Glutamate can transfer its -amino group to pyruvate, a readily available product of muscle glycolysis, by the action of alanine aminotransferase. ref : vasudevan 7th ed
