Liver- Protein --> Amino Acids Made into pyruvate
Liver- Pyruvate Made into glucose
Liver- Urea synthesis Stimulated massively
Liver- Fatty Acids Made into Acetyl CoA
Liver- Excess Acetyl CoA Converted into ketone bodies & excreted for use in the muscle/brain
Adipose Tissue- Glucose Little entry
Adipose Tissue- Fatty Acids Broken down from T.A.Gs and exported to liver
Muscle- Ketone Bodies Used for movement as well as F.As
