2/ Insulin & glucagon both act on adipose tissue : Fats <--- F.FA
(Net result of 1+ 2 new biochemical events during first period of
starvation take place)
As this phase continue ( < 5 hrs) peripheral muscles & adipose tissue
consume less amount of glucose & switch over to F.A as the main
fuel source (sparing glucose)
