4. Increases the rate of glucose
uptake by the tissues
Inhibits gluconeogenesis, (glucose production by
the liver )
It stimulates protein
synthesis
Suppresses breakdown of
proteins into amino acids
Suppresses breakdown of TG in
adipose tissues into FFAs.
Activates Glycogenesis
(Glycogen synthesis)
Enhances synthesis of fatty
acids & TG
Insulin
Inactivates Glycogenolysis
(glycogen phosphorylase)

Stimulates glycogenolysis & Gluconeogenesis
(release of glucose by liver )
Inhibits Glycolysis & glycogen
synthesis
Enhances synthesis of glucose from
amino acids or fatty acids
Activates lipase - mobilizes fatty acids and glycerol.
18. severe deficiency in caloric energy intake & most
extreme form of malnutrition
In humans, prolonged starvation can cause permanent
organ damage and eventually, death.
After 4 to 5 days of fasting, the body enters starvation
state
Starvation
19. Metabolic changes
in Starvation
Liver glycogenolysis
Gluconeogenesis
(for Glucose syn)
Initial stage
below 2 to 3 days
80-90% energy derived
from Fats
(Adipose tissues)
2nd stage
Longer period
usually over 2 weeks
Energy obtained from
tissue’s proteins
Last for less than
1 week
21. Clinical Assessment
Loss of weight
Dry skin
Hair loss
Muscle wasting
Loss of subcutaneous fat
Edema with out hypoalbuminemia
Distended abdomen with diarrhea
22. SUCCESS IS NOT AN ACCIDENT
It is hard work, perseverance,
learning, studying, sacrifice &
most of all,
love of what you are doing
Thank you
