During starvation muscle proteins break up into free amino acids. These compounds will be the most probably involved into the following process:
- A. Synthesis of higher fatty acids
- B. Decarboxylation
- C. Glycogenolysis
- D. Gluconeogenesis in liver
- E. Gluconeogenesis in muscles
Hint
Consider which organ is able to release newly made glucose into the blood, and what happens to the carbon skeletons of amino acids once glycogen stores are exhausted.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
