Question
In the adaptive phase of fasting (between 2 and 7 days without food), the body is said to have similarities with untreated type I diabetes mellitus because:Question 9Answera.Ketone bodies are being generated from blood urea raising serum H+ levels while fatty acids form the main energy fuelb.Glucose is being generated from glycogenolysis and fatty acids are rising in the serumc.Ketone bodies are being generated as an alternative fuel to glucose although some gluconeogenesis continues using amino acids and also generating uread.Glucose is being generated from gluconeogenesis and fatty acids are falling in the serume.Most fat stores have been used and urea nitrogen is high due to gluconeogenesis
Solution
The correct answer is c. Ketone bodies are being generated as an alternative fuel to glucose although some gluconeogenesis continues using amino acids and also generating urea.
During the adaptive phase of fasting, the body has depleted its glycogen stores and begins to use fat stores for energy. This process generates ketone bodies, which can be used as an alternative fuel source to glucose. This is similar to untreated type I diabetes mellitus, where the body cannot effectively use glucose for energy due to a lack of insulin, and thus turns to fat stores, leading to the production of ketone bodies.
Additionally, the body continues some gluconeogenesis (the generation of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources) during this phase of fasting, using amino acids and also generating urea. This is another similarity with untreated type I diabetes mellitus, where the body also continues gluconeogenesis in an attempt to provide glucose for energy.
