Choose the best answer: Which of the following can be used for gluconeogenesis

• amino acids

• fatty acids

• ketone bodies

Which is a non-glucose requiring tissue?

• RBC

• muscle

• brain

________ can meet up to 20% of the brain's energy need during starvation.

• fatty acids

• glucose

• ketone bodies

First to be oxidized during carbohydrate shortage

• fatty acids

• glucose

• ketone bodies

This metabolic process involves the competition of glucose and fatty acids for substrates. It refers to the significant reduction in glucose oxidation in the muscles when fatty acid oxidation is intense

Insulin- sensitive glucose transporter present in the adipose tissue and muscles.

• GLUT-2

• GLUT-4

What enzyme (found on walls of capillaries) is inhibited during fasting. It degrades circulating triglycerides in the bloodstream

• Lipoprotein lipase

• Hormone sensitive lipase

• Carnitine palmytoyltransferase-1

Acetyl coA from beta-oxidation of fatty acids inhibits this enzyme during ketosis (starvation)

• pyruvate dehydrogenase

• citrate synthase

• phosphofructokinase
