Metabolism: The Feed-fast Cycle

•Human metabolism oscillates between the fed and fasting states

•The ‘switch’ that determines metabolic changes is the molar ratio of insulin to glucagon in the blood

2

What is the FED State?

FED state - during meals and for several hours afterwards

•Characterized by high insulin and low glucagon (a high insulin/glucagon ratio)

3
New cards

What is the Fasting State?

FASTING state: 6-12 hr after a meal

•Characterized by low insulin and high glucagon (a low insulin/glucagon ratio)

•Fasting that lasts in excess of 12 hr is ‘prolonged fasting’ or starvation

How does Metabolism Work in the Fed State?

  • Food intake stimulates insulin release and insulin inhibits glucagon secretion

  • This affects metabolism in the liver, muscle and adipose tissue

  • Glucose utilization in the brain remains unchanged

How does Metabolism in the Early Fasting State?

  • During fasting, the liver switches from a glucose-utilizing to a glucose-producing organ

  • Decrease in glycogen synthesis and increase in glycogenolysis

  • Gluconeogenesis
