17 - Fed-Fasting Cycle

What are the major storage forms of energy in the body? What is true of fats in regards to glycolysis?

Fat cannot be converted into glucose - two carbons from fatty acids enter TCA as acetyl CoA produced by B oxidation of FA are oxidized to CO2 during cycle and cannot contribute to gluconeogenesis

Describe the metabolic activity of the fed state.

Describe the metabolic activity of the fasted state.

Describe the metabolic activity of the starved state.

How does metabolism of ketogenic amino acids contribute to gluconeogenesis?

Metabolism of ketogenic amino acids yields only acetyl CoA which contributes no carbons to glucose but can form ketone bodies
