| Fed State | high insulin/low glucagon |
| Fasting State | low insulin/high glucagon |
| Postprandial State | following a meal. insulin release/glucagon inhibited |
| Postabsorptive State | glucose metabolism reaches a steady state (overnight fast) |
| Cori Cycle purpose | recycling of lactate to glucose |
| During a prolonged fast these are an important source of energy | ketone bodies |
