Glycine is one of what are called glucogenic amino acids, which refers to their ability to provide glucose to the blood.
This indicates a reduction in glycogenolysis, by which glycogen is ultimately converted to glucose-6-phosphate and glucose, thus increasing the blood glucose levels and also of gluconeogenesis which is the production of glucose from carbohydrates and some glucogenic amino acids.
This arrangement seems to suggest the mediation of the ADG cells in the mobilization of the glucogenic reserves of the VC cells and in its transportation to the germinal line cells for their development and maturation, either directly or via other cellular types of the follicular wall, as hypothesized by Pipe (1987a, 1987b).
