In healthy adults, the concentration of glucose in blood is approximately 80 to 110 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl). After a carbohydrate-rich meal, however, the concentration may spike to 140 mg/dl. Describe the hormonal action that returns blood glucose to normal.

which is incorrect regarding fatty acid biosynthesis on the given statements?

Salivary amylase is used to hydrolyzed α(1à4) glycosidic bonds in carbohydrates.  True  False

On the right is a diagram of plasma concentration of three metabolites: glucose, B- hydroxybutyrate, and free fatty acid of an experimental animal over weeks of starvation. 4. (a) Label the lines with the names of the three metabolites. Yellow: Red: 10 20 30 40 Blue: Days of starvation (b) What factor in the plasma binds to and transports free fatty acid (c) Where was B-hydroxybutyrate produced? Why it is produced? What are the purposes of producing it (d) How B-hydroxybutyrate is used as fuel in extrahepatic cells? Write down the reactions, enzymes, and cofactors (No need to elaborate on the TCA cycle). (e) How many ATP molecules or equivalent are generated after complete oxidation of one molecule of B-hydroxybutyrate? Show your calculations. Hint: You need to consider ATP consumption for bypassed steps that may normally yield or consume AT Plasma concentration (mM)
