Glyceroneogenesis

Not to be confused with Gluconeogenesis.

Glyceroneogenesis is de novo synthesis of glyceride-glycerol from precursors other than glycerol or glucose.[1]

There is a growing body of research that suggests a link between improperly functioning glyceroneogenesis and insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.[2]
