49. Saccharides are the most universal nutrients – the overdose is transformed in the fat stores, carbon skelet of non-essential amino acids may originate from saccharides. Triacylglycerols exhibit the highest energetic yield – but fatty acids cannot convert into saccharides or the skelet of amino acids. Amino acids represent the unique source of nitrogen for proteosynthesis that serves as fuel rather when the organism is lacking in other nutrients - glucogenic amino acids can convert into glucose, a overdose of diet protein may be transformes in fat stores. The metabolism of nutrients is sophistically controlled with different mechanisms in the well-fed state (absorptive phase), short fasting (post-absorptive phase), and in prolonged starvation . It also depends on energy expenditure (predominantly muscular work) – either of maximal intensity (anaerobic, of short duration only) or aerobic work of much lower intensity (long duration).
