What is the so called "hepatic glucose production" I came across this term in my readings but I do not understand how this works. Can someone direct me to some reference as to what this "hepatic" glucose production is all about?

"Hepatic glucose production" is the gluconeogenesis process (the opposite of the gycolysis process), that is the formation of glucose primarily from lactate and amino acids. This process takes place in the liver's cells and it is regulated by hormones (insulin and glucagon). Look here and here for a better explanation!
