Introduction:

Starvation is the extreme case of malnutrition in which there is a severe deficiency in the caloric intake. In starvation, the amount of caloric intake is below than the normal amount which is required by the body to perform essential functions. Starvation has many forms like marasmus, kwashiorkor, anorexia, and bulimia.

Which of the following is TRUE regarding liver metabolism? Select three of the following: The liver (hepatocytes) has hundreds of functions, such as producing glucose, ketones, fatty acids, cholesterol, proteins, and bile for the rest of the body. Hepatocytes have the GLUT2 antiporter, which allows for secondary active transport of glucose into the cells. Hepatocytes have glucokinase that continually makes glucose 6-phosphate, and it has a lower Km than other hexokinases so it continuously metabolizes glucose when concentrations are low. Glucose 6-phosphate is the "transfer station" in the liver since it can be made my multiple pathways and have multiple fates. The liver converts amino acids to citric acid cycle intermediates or pyruvate for gluconeogenesis. The liver oxidizes fatty acids into glucose, which can be sent to other cells and used for energy or converted into phospholipids and triacylglycerol.
Metabolic ketoacidosis is a common problem with diabetics, which is caused by which of the following? Excessive oxidation of fatty acids, leading to an accumulation of ketone bodies in the blood. Excessive oxidation of glucose, leading to an accumulation of ketone bodies in the blood. Excessive oxidation of proteins, leading to an accumulation of ammonia in the blood. Hyperglycemia.
Restriction of food intake leads to which of the following?       An increase in whole body energy expenditure       Reductions in resting energy expenditure due in part to reduction in body mass      An increase in the thermic effect of food due to lower energy intake       Reductions in activity energy expenditure due to increased activity costs associated with a smaller body size
