Follow the alanine link in the alanine cycle. The process goes as under:

1)  Pyruvate formed from glycolysis in  the muscle  is converted to  alanine by transamination reaction.

2)  Alanine is released by the muscle into  the blood and is taken up by the liver.

3)  In  the  liver,  alanine  is converted back  to pyruvate by  the reverse of  the transamination reaction  t at ockurred in the'muscle.

4)  Pyruvate is converted  to glucose via gluconeogenic  pathway.
