[Effect of total and prolonged starvation on the acid soluble nucleotides in carp liver]
Abstract:
The composition of the acid soluble nucleotide pool of Carp liver was determined by column chromatography, and its changes were followed during prolonged total fast. Total prolonged starvation caused substantial changes in the distribution of hepatocyte free nucleotides. Eleven months of starvation caused a reduction in the concentration of di- and triphosphate nucleosides as well as a diminution of the oxido-reduction of the hepatocyte. Only pyrimidine nucleoside monophosphates remained at concentration approaching those found in regularly fed Carp.

Metabolic States of the Body: The Postabsorptive State
Initially, glycogen stored in the liver is broken down to release glucose into the bloodstream, while glycogen in the muscles is broken down to supply glucose for energy directly within the muscle cells. As glycogen stores diminish,...
