👉 The term 'alphatoluic' refers to the first stage of the metabolic pathway for the breakdown of glucose into glycolysis in the cells of the body. This stage involves the accumulation and breakdown of molecules involved in energy production, including ATP and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P). It is one of two stages of glucose metabolism that occur in response to insulin stimulation, the other being aldolase biosynthesis.
