How is fuel metabolism in the liver changed during prolonged starvation?

Prolonged starvation will stimulate the degradation of proteins in order to produce glucogenic amino acids. The excretion of urea in urine will hence increase to remove the nitrogen waste.These glucogenic amino acids can be converted to oxaloacetate and the oxaloacetate can enter the TCA cycle for energy production. The oxaloacetate can also be converted to PEP for gluconeogensis and the glucose formed can help maintain the level of glucose in the blood.When the oxaloacetate runs out, the lack of its presence prevents acteyl-CoA to enter the TCA cycle. This will lead to the accumulation of acteyl-CoA, favouring the production of ketone bodies. The ketone bodies are then used by the brain as fuel.


What would happen if you drank with a kidney infection?

I assume you are referring to drinking alcohol. It is not advisable. The kidneys filter the fluids in your body to get rid of toxins, the result is urine. When you have a kidney infection the kidneys can not work as efficiently and effectively as normal so you should avoid making them work harder than necessary by not consuming toxins such as alcohol. Doing this could cause damage to the kidneys that may be irreversible. Damage to kidneys can lead to kidney failure, which is not a nice condition to have and can ultimately result in the need for a kidney transplant. A kidney infection does not usually last too long and can be helped on its way by making sure you get your 1.5 Lts of plain water a day during the illness. A week of so of abstinence from alcohol during these times can save a lifetime of pain and illness in the future. Nix
