In the body the role of carbohydrates is very limited compared to that of fat or protein. Muscle/liver glycogen stores are used to stabilise blood sugar, and to provide a fast source of energy for high intensity bursts of exercise. Serum glucose also provides a source of energy for the brain and central nervous system in the absence of ketones, as they are unable to metabolise fatty acids.
