Carbohydrates-Simple sugars are sent to the liver where they are converted to glucose. The glucose then travels to the blood or is converted to glycogen and fat (triglyceride). The glycogen and fat will be stored in the liver and adipose tissue, respectively, as reserves for the post-absorptive state.
little postprandial hepatic glycogen synthesis takes place if gluconeogenesis is inhibited. 1  approx 40% of liver glycogen repletion could be from lactate. 2  the availability of lactate or its uptake by the liver determines the rate of glycogen synthesis, within the range set by the glucose concentration.
