Question

The typical human adult uses about 160 g of glucose per day, 120 g of which is used by the brain. The available reserve of glucose (~20 g of circulating glucose and ~190 g of glycogen) is adequate for about one day. After the reserve has been depleted during starvation, what other sources can be used to produce glucose

Answer 1

Fats and proteins that are present in liver, kidneys, and muscles.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the reserve of glucose is used by the body during starvation, our body uses fats and proteins that are present in liver, kidneys, muscles etc and convert these fats and proteins into glucose. There is high amount of fats and proteins present in our body which can be used when the glucose reserves depleted from the body during starvation so we can conclude that the fats and proteins are the sources that can be used to produce glucose for the body.
