Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the absorptive state, the liver forms glycogen from excess glucose in the blood. Adipocytes store excess fatty acids, but they do not contribute them to the circulation until the postabsorptive state. Skeletal muscles also do not break down glycogen during the absorptive state, as they are not in need of energy. Glucagon levels are low during the absorptive state, as insulin is the dominant hormone for regulating blood glucose levels.
