When a person moves from the fed to the fasting state following a meal, there is an incase in the mobilization of the components of triacylglycerol. all of the following help to maintain blood glucose levels during the first 12 hours of the fast EXCEPT:
a. increased glycerol is used as a substrate for gluconeogenesis
b. increased free fatty acids cause an increase in the production of liver acetyl CoA that citrates pyruvate carboxylase
c. increased free fatty acids are used to produce energy needed for gluconeogenesis in the liver
d. increased fatty acids cause and increase in the production of ketone bodies which spare the utilization of glucose by red blood cells
e. increased blood free fatty acids cause increased uptake of free fatty acids by muscle cells. the muscle cells preferentially oxidize free fatty acids and, therefore spare glucose utilization
