Question

which of the following metabolic pathways is decreased in muscle tissue during the absorptive state?

a. all of these

b. glycogenesis

c. none of these

d. gluconeogenesis

e. beta oxidation of long chain fatty acids

Answer 1

Absorptive state is nothing but fed state .

After you are eating there is excess glucose in your blood ...that need to be store or utilise .

Absorptive state is anabolic state ...synthesis of product takes place not degradation of it .

Excess glucose . Through GLUT4 receptors goes into Muscle ... form Glycogen to store it through glycogen synthesis pathway .(Anabolic process)- glycogenesis

Glucose form acetyl CoA that undergo Krebs cycle or Fatty acid synthesis...(anabolic process).

Not Beta oxidation of fatty acidity which is energy realizing process (Catabolic process).

Ans e. B OXIDATION of fatty acid
