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: _____ - Lack of PFK-2 activity due to low insulin - Impaired glucose trapping (reduced glucokinase) in the liver leads to hyperglycemia
