Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the fasted state, skeletal muscle does not increase gluconeogenesis. Rather, it may provide amino acids for other tissues to use in gluconeogenesis. Gluconeogenesis primarily occurs in the liver, and it can use substrates such as pyruvate and lactate (from other tissues), as well as amino acids (from skeletal muscle or other sources). Some amino acids may also be deaminated to provide substrates for gluconeogenesis. Adipose tissue breaks down its store of triglycerides to release fatty acids, which can be used for energy by other tissues.
