This podcast covers the key role of the liver and adipose tissue in providing energy sources to the plasma during fasting. The liver is the provider of glucose and fatty acids, while adipose tissue provides fatty acids to the bloodstream. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/a-j-ghalayini/message ..read more

While following a ketogenic diet, maintenance of plasma glucose is essential for several tissues. The amino acids derived from dietary proteins will provide the carbon skeletons for glucose synthesis by the liver, while the triacylglycerols from dietary fat will provide the energy for various tissues through Beta-oxidation of fatty acids. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/a-j-ghalayini/message ..read more

This podcast covers the production of cAMP by activation of either the beta-adrenergic receptor or the glucagon receptor as well as the activation of the alpha1-adrenergic by epinephrine to produce IP3, DG and calcium. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/a-j-ghalayini/message ..read more

This podcast covers the 3 stages of catabolism from the intestinal lumen to inside the cell. The energy output is mostly produced in the mitochondrial catabolic pathways.
