Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The postabsorptive state, also known as the fasting state, is characterized by the body using its stores of energy to maintain normal bodily functions. During this state, glycogen is broken down into glucose (glycogenolysis) in the liver, fat is mobilized from adipose tissue for energy, and the liver produces glucose through gluconeogenesis. Ketone bodies may also be formed from the breakdown of fats. However, the levels of blood glucose are not elevated during the postabsorptive state, as the body is relying on stored energy rather than glucose from food.
