<P> Pyruvic acid can be made from glucose through glycolysis , converted back to carbohydrates ( such as glucose ) via gluconeogenesis , or to fatty acids through a reaction with acetyl - CoA . It can also be used to construct the amino acid alanine and can be converted into ethanol or lactic acid via fermentation . </P>
