Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hepatic triglyceride synthesis is accelerated when the diet is rich in excess calories, and VLDL is overproduced, which may explain the hypertriglyceridemia observed when diets are particularly rich in simple sugars.During fasting, however, the metabolic pathways in the liver are reversed.Blood glucose concentration falls, insulin concentrations are diminished, and hepatic VLDL triglyceride synthesis is diminished.
