CC was taken to hospital breathing but unresponsive after two days of heavy alcoholconsumption and limited food intake. According to CC's past medical history they had a historyof chronic alcohol addiction and fatty liver disease. Analysis of CC's serum glucose returned avalue of < 20 mg/dL, indicating severe hypoglycemia. The attending physician prescribed abolus of D-glucose to help re-establish CC's blood glucose to within normal bounds. Analysis ofthe CC's serum electrolytes and PaCO2 was suggestive of metabolic acidosis.Q1: Which of the following metabolites may be used to produce blood glucose duringprolonged fasting?

Hypoglycemia is the condition of blood glucose levels going below the normal range. A blood glucose…
