Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the body starts to use energy sources other than carbohydrates, it leads to increased gluconeogenesis in the liver to produce glucose from non-carbohydrate sources, ketosis due to the breakdown of fats for energy which can lead to a decrease in blood pH, and increased levels of urea in the blood as proteins are broken down. All these processes are interconnected and occur when the body shifts its primary energy source away from carbohydrates.
