The Feed-Starve Cycle Includes Four Main Stages
1. Food Consumption [Zero Hour].
2. Well –fed State or Absorptive State [4-6 Hours After
Ingestion of Normal Meal].
3. Early Fasting State or Post Absorptive State [18 Hours].
4. Fasting State [36-48 Hours].
5.Starvation State [> 48 Hours of Fasting].
OVERVIEW OF THE ABSORPTIVE STATE
 The absorptive (well-fed) state
is the 2- to 4-hour period after
ingestion of a normal meal.
 the absorptive state is an
anabolic period characterized by
increased synthesis of TAG and
glycogen to replenish fuel stores
and enhanced synthesis of
protein.
 During this absorptive period,
virtually all tissues use glucose
as a fuel.

A. Carbohydrate metabolism
I. LIVER: NUTRIENT DISTRIBUTION CENTER
• The liver is glucose-producing rather than a glucose-using
organ.
• However, after a meal containing carbohydrate, the liver
becomes a net consumer, retaining roughly 60g of every 100g
of glucose presented by the portal system.
• This increased use reflects increased glucose uptake by the
hepatocytes.
• Their insulin-independent glucose transporter (GLUT-2) has
a low affinity (high Km) for glucose and, therefore, takes
up glucose only when blood glucose is high.
• Processes that are upregulated when hepatic glucose is
increased include the following:

• synthesis of proteins and nitrogen-containing molecules.
• surplus amino acids released into the blood for other tissues to use in protein
synthesis or deaminated.
• the resulting carbon skeletons being degraded by the liver to pyruvate,
acetyl CoA, or TCA cycle intermediates oxidized for energy or used in FA
synthesis.
• The liver has limited capacity to initiate degradation of the branched-chain
amino acids (BCAA) leucine, isoleucine, and valine.
• They pass through the liver essentially unchanged and are metabolized in muscle
I. LIVER: NUTRIENT DISTRIBUTION CENTER
C. Amino acid metabolism
2. Increased protein synthesis:
• The body does not store protein for energy as glycogen or TAG reserves.
• However, a transient increase in the synthesis of hepatic proteins occurs
in the absorptive state, resulting in replacement of any degraded proteins
during fasting.
IV. ADIPOSE TISSUE: ENERGY STORAGE DEPOT
IV. ADIPOSE TISSUE: ENERGY STORAGE DEPOT
A. Carbohydrate metabolism
1. Increased glucose transport:
• Circulating insulin levels are elevated in the
absorptive state, resulting in an influx of
glucose into adipocytes via insulin-sensitive
GLUT-4 recruited to the cell surface from
intracellular vesicles.
• The glucose is phosphorylated by hexokinase.
IV. ADIPOSE TISSUE: ENERGY STORAGE DEPOT
A. Carbohydrate metabolism
2. Increased glycolysis:
• The increased intracellular availability of
glucose results in an enhanced rate of
glycolysis.
• In adipose tissue, glycolysis serves a synthetic
function by supplying glycerol 3-phosphate for
TAG synthesis
IV. ADIPOSE TISSUE: ENERGY STORAGE DEPOT
A. Carbohydrate metabolism
3. Increased pentose phosphate pathway activity:
• Adipose tissue can
metabolize glucose by
means of the pentose
phosphate pathway by
producing NADPH, which
is essential for FA
synthesis.
• De novo synthesis is not a
major source of FA in
adipose tissue
IV. ADIPOSE TISSUE: ENERGY STORAGE DEPOT
B. Fat metabolism
FA added to the TAG stores of adipocytes
provided by:
• Degradation of exogenous (dietary) TAG in
chylomicrons sent out by the intestine.
• Endogenous TAG in VLDL sent out by the liver.
IV. ADIPOSE TISSUE: ENERGY STORAGE DEPOT
B. Fat metabolism
• The FA are released from the
lipoproteins by lipoprotein lipase
(LPL), an extracellular enzyme
attached to the endothelial cells
of capillary walls in many tissues,
particularly adipose and muscle.
• In adipose tissue, LPL is upregulated
by insulin.
• Thus, in the fed state, elevated levels
of glucose and insulin favor storage
of TAG, all the carbons of which are
supplied by glucose.
IV. ADIPOSE TISSUE: ENERGY
STORAGE DEPOT
B. Fat metabolism
In adipose tissue,
• LPL is upregulated by insulin.
• Thus, in the fed state, elevated levels of
glucose and insulin favor storage of TAG.
• Elevated insulin favors the
dephosphorylated (inactive) form of HSL
(Hormone-Sensitive Lipase), thereby
inhibiting lipolysis in the well-fed state.

V. RESTING SKELETAL MUSCLE
• Skeletal muscle uses glucose, amino acids, FA, and ketone bodies
as fuel.
• In the well-fed state, muscle takes up glucose via GLUT-4 (for
energy and glycogen synthesis) and amino acids (for energy and
protein synthesis).
Skeletal muscle, despite its potential for transient
periods of anaerobic glycolysis, is an oxidative
tissue, Why????????
• Skeletal muscle is unique in being able to
respond to substantial changes in the demand
for ATP that accompanies contraction.
• At rest, muscle accounts for ~25% of the
oxygen (O2) consumption of the body, whereas
• During vigorous exercise, it is responsible for
up to 90%.
V. RESTING SKELETAL MUSCLE

V. RESTING SKELETAL MUSCLE
C. Amino acid metabolism
1. Increased protein synthesis:
An increase in amino acid
uptake and protein synthesis
occurs in the absorptive
period after ingestion of a
meal containing protein.
V. RESTING SKELETAL MUSCLE
C. Amino acid metabolism
2. Increased branched-chain
amino acid uptake (BCAA):
• Muscle is the principal
site for degradation of
the BCAA because it
contains the required
transaminase.
• The dietary BCAA
escape metabolism by
the liver and are taken
up by muscle, where
they are used for
protein synthesis and as
energy sources.
VI. BRAIN
• The brain accounts for a consistent
20% of the basal O2 consumption of
the body at rest.
• To provide energy, substrates must
be able to cross the blood–brain
barrier [BBB].
• In the fed state, the brain exclusively
uses glucose as a fuel (GLUT-1 of the
BBB is insulin independent).
• Because the brain contains no
significant stores of glycogen, it is
completely dependent on the
availability of blood glucose
• The brain also lacks significant
stores of TAG, and the FA
circulating in the blood.
If blood glucose levels
fall to <50 mg/dl (normal
fasted blood glucose is
70–99 mg/dl), cerebral
function is impaired.

OVERVIEW OF THE Post-ABSORPTIVE STATE [Fasting]
• post absorptive period of nutrient is a catabolic period
characterized by degradation of TAG, glycogen, and protein.
• Fasting begins if no food is ingested after the absorptive
period.
• It may result from an
1. Inability to obtain food
2. Desire to lose weight rapidly
3. Clinical situations in which an individual cannot eat (trauma,
surgery, cancer, or burns).
Glucose, Amino acids, and TAG
insulin Glucagon
• In fasting, substrates are not provided by the diet
• Substrates are available from the breakdown of stores
and/or tissues, such as glycogenolysis with release of
glucose from the liver, lipolysis with release of FA and
glycerol from TAG in adipose tissue, and proteolysis with
release of amino acids from muscle.
OVERVIEW OF THE Post-ABSORPTIVE STATE [Fasting]
• Recognition that the
changes in fasting are the
reciprocal of those in the
fed state is helpful in
understanding and flow of
metabolism.
Exchange of substrates among the liver, adipose tissue, skeletal
muscle, and brain that is guided by two priorities:
1. the need to maintain adequate glucose to sustain energy in the brain, red
blood cells, and other glucose-requiring tissues.
2. the need to mobilize FA from TAG in white adipose tissue WAT for the
synthesis and release of ketone bodies by the liver to supply energy to other
tissues and spare body protein.
• As a result, blood glucose levels are
maintained within a narrow range in
fasting, while FA and ketone body levels
increase.
• Maintaining glucose requires that the
substrates for gluconeogenesis (such
as pyruvate, alanine, and glycerol) be
available.
OVERVIEW OF THE Post-ABSORPTIVE STATE [Fasting]
VIII. LIVER IN FASTING
Hepatic metabolism is distinguished from peripheral (or
extrahepatic) metabolism, WHY??????????
The primary role of the liver in
fasting is
1. maintenance of blood glucose
through the production of
glucose (from glycogenolysis and
gluconeogenesis) for glucose-
requiring tissues.
2. synthesis and distribution of
ketone bodies for use by other
tissues.

fatty acyl CoA, producing acetyl
CoA, NADH, and flavin adenine
dinucleotide (FADH2).

2. Increased ketogenesis (Ketone Bodies Synthesis):
• Ketogenesis, which starts during the first days of fasting, is favored
when the concentration of acetyl CoA from FA oxidation exceeds the
oxidative capacity of the TCA cycle.
• Ketogenesis releases CoA, insuring its availability for continued FA
oxidation.
• The availability of circulating water-soluble ketone bodies is
important in fasting because they can be used for fuel by most
tissues, including the brain, once their blood level is high enough.
• Ketone body concentration in blood increases from ~50 µM to ~6mM
in fasting. This reduces the need for gluconeogenesis from amino
acid carbon skeletons, thus preserving essential protein.
• Ketone bodies are organic acids and, when present at high
concentrations, can cause ketoacidosis.
VIII. LIVER IN FASTING

2. Increased ketogenesis (Ketone Bodies Synthesis):
The liver is unique in being able to synthesize and release ketone bodies for use
as fuel by peripheral tissues but not by the liver itself because liver lacks

Synthesis):

CoA during ketogenesis
allows fatty acid oxidation
to continue.
IX. ADIPOSE TISSUE IN FASTING

Glucose transport by insulin-sensitive
GLUT-4 into the adipocyte and its

 Plasma ketone bodies reach significantly
elevated levels and replace glucose as the
primary fuel for the brain.
 This reduces the need for protein
catabolism for gluconeogenesis: Ketone
bodies spare glucose and, thus, muscle
protein.
As the duration of a fast extends from
overnight to days to weeks, blood glucose
levels initially drop and then are maintained
at the lower level (65–70 mg/dl).]

Metabolic Integration - Lecture 9 - Presentation - Dr. Shimaa Nabil.pptx
XIII. CHAPTER SUMMARY
The flow of intermediates through metabolic pathways is controlled by four
regulatory mechanisms:
1) the availability of substrates,
2) Allosteric activation and inhibition of enzymes,
3) covalent modification of enzymes,
4) induction-repression of enzyme synthesis.
XIII. CHAPTER SUMMARY
 In the absorptive state, the 2- to 4-hour period after ingestion of a meal, these
mechanisms insure that available nutrients are captured as glycogen,
triacylglycerol (TAG), and protein.
 During this interval, transient increases in plasma glucose, amino acids, and TAG
occur, the last primarily as components of chylomicrons synthesized by the
intestinal mucosal cells.
 The pancreas responds to the elevated levels of glucose with an increased
secretion of insulin and a decreased secretion of glucagon.
 The elevated insulin/glucagon ratio and the ready availability of circulating
substrates make the absorptive state an anabolic period during which virtually all
tissues use glucose as a fuel.
 In addition, the liver replenishes its glycogen stores, replaces any needed hepatic
proteins, and increases TAG synthesis.
 The TAG are packaged in very-low-density lipoproteins, which are exported to
the peripheral tissues.
 Adipose tissue increases TAG synthesis and storage, whereas muscle increases
protein synthesis to replace protein degraded since the previous meal.
 In the fed state, the brain uses glucose exclusively as a fuel.
 In fasting, plasma levels of glucose, amino acids, and TAG fall, triggering a decline in
insulin secretion and an increase in glucagon and epinephrine secretion.
 The decreased insulin/counter regulatory hormone ratio and the decreased availability of
circulating substrates make the fasting state a catabolic period.
 This sets into motion an exchange of substrates among the liver, adipose tissue, skeletal
muscle, and brain that is guided by two priorities:
1) the need to maintain adequate plasma levels of glucose to sustain energy metabolism of the
brain and other glucose-requiring tissues and
2) the need to mobilize fatty acids (FA) from adipose tissue and release ketone bodies from
liver to supply energy to other tissues.
 To accomplish these goals, the liver degrades glycogen and initiates gluconeogenesis,
using increased FA oxidation to supply the energy and reducing equivalents needed
for gluconeogenesis and the acetyl coenzyme A building blocks for ketogenesis.
 The adipose tissue degrades stored TAG, thus providing FA and glycerol to the liver.
 The muscle can also use FA as fuel as well as ketone bodies supplied by the liver.
 The liver uses the glycerol for gluconeogenesis.
 Muscle protein is degraded to supply amino acids for the liver to use in gluconeogenesis but
decreases as ketone bodies increase.
 The brain can use both glucose and ketone bodies as fuels.
 From late fasting into starvation, the kidneys play important roles by synthesizing glucose
and excreting the protons from ketone body dissociation as ammonium(NH4+).

Increased branched-chain amino acid uptake (BCAA): • Muscle is the principal site for degradation of the BCAA because it contains the required transaminase. • The dietary BCAA escape metabolism by the liver and are taken up by muscle, where they are used for protein synthesis and as energy sources.
  • 54. VI. BRAIN • The brain accounts for a consistent 20% of the basal O2 consumption of the body at rest. • To provide energy, substrates must be able to cross the blood–brain barrier [BBB]. • In the fed state, the brain exclusively uses glucose as a fuel (GLUT-1 of the BBB is insulin independent). • Because the brain contains no significant stores of glycogen, it is completely dependent on the availability of blood glucose • The brain also lacks significant stores of TAG, and the FA circulating in the blood.

OVERVIEW OF THE Post-ABSORPTIVE STATE [Fasting] • post absorptive period of nutrient is a catabolic period characterized by degradation of TAG, glycogen, and protein. • Fasting begins if no food is ingested after the absorptive period. • It may result from an 1.

  • 58. • In fasting, substrates are not provided by the diet • Substrates are available from the breakdown of stores and/or tissues, such as glycogenolysis with release of glucose from the liver, lipolysis with release of FA and glycerol from TAG in adipose tissue, and proteolysis with release of amino acids from muscle. OVERVIEW OF THE Post-ABSORPTIVE STATE [Fasting] • Recognition that the changes in fasting are the reciprocal of those in the fed state is helpful in understanding and flow of metabolism.
  • 59. Exchange of substrates among the liver, adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and brain that is guided by two priorities: 1. the need to maintain adequate glucose to sustain energy in the brain, red blood cells, and other glucose-requiring tissues. 2. the need to mobilize FA from TAG in white adipose tissue WAT for the synthesis and release of ketone bodies by the liver to supply energy to other tissues and spare body protein. • As a result, blood glucose levels are maintained within a narrow range in fasting, while FA and ketone body levels increase. • Maintaining glucose requires that the substrates for gluconeogenesis (such as pyruvate, alanine, and glycerol) be available.

  • 113. XIII. CHAPTER SUMMARY  In the absorptive state, the 2- to 4-hour period after ingestion of a meal, these mechanisms insure that available nutrients are captured as glycogen, triacylglycerol (TAG), and protein.  During this interval, transient increases in plasma glucose, amino acids, and TAG occur, the last primarily as components of chylomicrons synthesized by the intestinal mucosal cells.  The pancreas responds to the elevated levels of glucose with an increased secretion of insulin and a decreased secretion of glucagon.  The elevated insulin/glucagon ratio and the ready availability of circulating substrates make the absorptive state an anabolic period during which virtually all tissues use glucose as a fuel.  In addition, the liver replenishes its glycogen stores, replaces any needed hepatic proteins, and increases TAG synthesis.  The TAG are packaged in very-low-density lipoproteins, which are exported to the peripheral tissues.  Adipose tissue increases TAG synthesis and storage, whereas muscle increases protein synthesis to replace protein degraded since the previous meal.  In the fed state, the brain uses glucose exclusively as a fuel.
  • 114.  In fasting, plasma levels of glucose, amino acids, and TAG fall, triggering a decline in insulin secretion and an increase in glucagon and epinephrine secretion.  The decreased insulin/counter regulatory hormone ratio and the decreased availability of circulating substrates make the fasting state a catabolic period.  This sets into motion an exchange of substrates among the liver, adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and brain that is guided by two priorities: 1) the need to maintain adequate plasma levels of glucose to sustain energy metabolism of the brain and other glucose-requiring tissues and 2) the need to mobilize fatty acids (FA) from adipose tissue and release ketone bodies from liver to supply energy to other tissues.  To accomplish these goals, the liver degrades glycogen and initiates gluconeogenesis, using increased FA oxidation to supply the energy and reducing equivalents needed for gluconeogenesis and the acetyl coenzyme A building blocks for ketogenesis.  The adipose tissue degrades stored TAG, thus providing FA and glycerol to the liver.  The muscle can also use FA as fuel as well as ketone bodies supplied by the liver.  The liver uses the glycerol for gluconeogenesis.  Muscle protein is degraded to supply amino acids for the liver to use in gluconeogenesis but decreases as ketone bodies increase.  The brain can use both glucose and ketone bodies as fuels.  From late fasting into starvation, the kidneys play important roles by synthesizing glucose and excreting the protons from ketone body dissociation as ammonium(NH4+).
