The initial glucose pathway produces 2 units of energy. Glucose enters the cell and passes through a 20-step pathway. A high-carbohydrate diet causes the body to release significant amounts of glucose. Pyruvate is described as the end product of the initial glucose pathway. The article frames cancer and glucose through cellular energy metabolism. Glucose is processed through the body's energy cycle before storage limits become relevant. Excess glucose remains after the body's energy cycle and glycogen storage have been addressed.
