Compare and contrast the hormonal events that take place during the absorptive and fasting phases of metabolism
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: In the absorptive phase, the release of insulin promotes the entry of glucose into cells and into the short-term store as glycogen. As glucose is used for fuel, plasma levels decline and glucagon is secreted, which in turn enhances the conversion of glycogen to glucose. After the glycogen store is depleted, triglycerides are broken down from the long-term fat store forming glycerol, which the liver can use to create glucose.
