| During starvation, plasma free fatty acids ___. | increases (become main source of energy) |
| Under normal circumstance BUN level is ___. | constant/stable (regardless of protein intake) |
| BUN goes up during ___ failure. | renal failure (inability to excrete nitrogen) |
| Glucagon ___ G-6-Pase, F-1,6-Bpase, and PEPCK. | up-regulates |
| Insulin ___ G-6-Pase, F-1,6-Bpase, and PEPCK. | down-regulates |
| Ethanol is metabolized to ___. | acetaldehyde |
| Ethanol metabolism converts and traps ___. | NAD+/NADH |
| Trapping of NADH impairs ___. | Gluconeogenesis (blocked lactate to glucose) and OAA tied up as malate (malate dehydrogenase) |
| Ethanol potentiates ___. | insulin |
| Postprandial state is similar to ___ induced state. | insulin |
| During overnight fast, the liver and muscle is running on ___. | glycogen |
| During overnight fast, ___ is used (even though glycogen is not all gone). | fat |

| During overnight fast, ketosis is turned ___. | on |
| Glucose-Alanine Cycle | Transport alanine from muscle to the liver for gluconeogenesis |
| Cori Cycle | “Glucose-lactate” cycle, transport lactate from muscle to the liver for gluconeogenesis |
| During prolonged fasting, glycogen is ___. | depleted |
| During prolonged fasting, ___ is the major source of energy. | fatty acid (from TG breakdown) |
