Brain

Liver
Glucose,
Glucose from amino acids by gluconeogenesis Glycogen for raising blood glucose Proteins form amino acids Lipoproteins & fatty acids.
Glucose, Lactate, alanine, and glutamine Fatty acids (anaerobic gives lactate, transported as Ketones alanine. Glutamate from catabolism of aa) Amion acids Glycogen is for use of muscle only Glucose only (No mitochondria)
RBC
Absorptive, postabsorptive, and early starvation occur sequentially over ~2 days. Intermediate, and prolonged starvation are over 38 subsequent days and beyond
The fed state Glucose glycogen (Glycogenesis). Fatty acids synthesis (Lipogenesis). aa Protein (Protein synthesis). Glucose ATP (Glycolysis). ATP from glucose is used by:
nervous tissues (Brain) RBCs Adipose tissues Muscle tissues
The fasting state Amino acids (primarily) (Protein Breakdown) Glycerol Lactate Above 3 used for (Gluconeogenesis) Fatty acids acetyl CoA Ketone formation (Lipolysis & Ketogenesis) Ketone bodies are:
Acetoacetate Beta hydroxybutyrate Acetone.
FATTY ACIDS
CoA
-OXIDATION
The starvation state: Fatty acids used to greater extent Glycerol major glucose source Ketosis after oxaloacetate depletion Because oxaloactate comes from glucose which is deficient in starving state.
Fasting state:
Catabolism for energy produces quantities of N (Excreted in urea), (Urea cycle) Gluconeogensis in liver & kidneys
Absorptive, postabsorptive, and early starvation occur sequentially over ~2 days. Intermediate, and prolonged starvation are over 38 subsequent days and beyond
In general
Brain is simply a fuel consumer Liver and adipose tissue function as fuel storage tissues and reservoirs Muscle is both source and consumer leaning heavily toward consumption Kidney is only a significant source under starvation
