During the absorptive state, insulin levels are low. the liver forms glycogen. skeletal muscle breaks down glycogen. adipocytes release fatty acids to the circulation. skeletal muscle fibers release glucose.

Step 1
Insulin levels are high during this state, not low as stated in the question. Insulin is released by the pancreas in response to the rise in blood glucose levels after a meal. The liver forms glycogen during the absorptive state, using glucose from the Show more…

this occurs during the absorptive state: Select one: a. as glycogen is depleted, fats are used as an energy source b. fatty acids are converted to acetyl-CoA c. excess glucose is converted into glycogen or fats d. acetyl-COA is used to produce ketone bodies in the liver

Insulin does not increase glucose uptake by the liver. get secreted when [Ca2+] increases in the cytosol of the ̢ cells of the pancreas. decrease glycolysis in muscle. stimulate TAG synthesis in adipocytes.
