From: Fasting induces a biphasic adaptive metabolic response in murine small intestine
A schematic model of the response to fasting in the mouse small intestine. The adaptations of protein, fat and intermediary metabolism in the small intestine are indicated. Arrows and crosses represent up- and downregulation of the process respectively, in short (12 h, left) and prolonged fasting (72 h, right). Abbreviations for cytosolic (cyt) and mitochondrial (mit) metabolites stand for: Asp – aspartate, FA – fatty acids, Glc – glucose, Gln – glutamine, Glu – glutamate, Lac – lactate, αOG – α oxo-glutarate, oxac – oxaloacetate, and PEP – phosphoenolpyruvate.
