Glucose metabolism in fed, fasted and malnourished states. A, Glucose, lipids, and amino acids from the diet circulate during the fed state for use or storage in body organs. In the fasted state, glucose is released from the muscles, kidneys, and liver for whole-body metabolism, along with lipids from adipose tissue and amino acids from the muscle. B, When glucose stores have been depleted, amino acids are provided by the muscles to support crucial bodily functions.
