As low carbohydrate diets have had a dramatic popularity increase in the past decade, arguments have been made that glucose can be made from odd- chain fatty acids. Based on the metabolism of such molecules, what quantity of a C-19 fatty acid would be required to produce 1 g of glucose? Consider- ing that odd-chain fatty acids make up approximately 1% of the fat in our diet, what quantity of fatty acids would be needed to produce 1 g of glucose?
