What supplies some of the fuel needed by the brain only after the body has been fasting?

Well, without a doubt some of the fuel needed by the brain after the body has been fasting is drawn from the body's fat reserves. Some probably comes from muscle tissues as well, although this is probably a lesser amount. Portions more than likely vary depending on the physical fitness of the individual. When fat reserves are depleted, and the body is still in a state of fast, major organs will begin to be consumed to keep the brain intact. I can't tell you specifically where to verify any of this, or even that it is necessarily true. It is true to the best of my knowledge, but I am by no means an expert.
