Glucagon acts on the _____ (primarily) and adipose tissue

After three days of starvation, the main source of energy for the brain becomes _____ from adipose stores

Increased NADH/NAD+ (e.g. due to ethanol) causes increased conversion of _____ -> malate, thus preventing gluconeogenesis

_____ reactions are chemical reactions that form intermediates of a metabolic pathway.

Glucagon causes _____ fatty acid synthesis and increased lipolysis, which shunts substrates towards gluconeogenesis

Effect of diabetes on hepatic glycolysis: no answer _____ - No PFK-2 due to lack of insulin - No glucose trapping in liver leads to elevated blood glucose (hyperglycemia)
