A high amount of amylolitic bacteria may increase the production of pronionic acid (NUSSIO et al., 2006) which, after being absorbed by the ruminal wall, goes to the liver and metabolized until it is transformed into glucose through glucogenesis (O'CALLAGHAN; BOLAND, 1999).

In the liver, several important pathways play a role in glucose homeostasis by maintaining a balance between glucose uptake and storage that is determined by glucogenesis and glycolysis, as well as glucose release that is regulated by glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis (Baquet et al., 1990).
