Match the following organs or tissues with their ability to utilize glucose for metabolic needs initially:

Brain tissue = Can initially utilize only glucose for metabolic needs Muscle = Cannot initially utilize only glucose for metabolic needs Renal medulla = Can initially utilize only glucose for metabolic needs Liver = Becomes an organ of glucose production under fasting conditions

Match the following conditions with their associated risks:

Starvation or signs of malnutrition = Higher risk of complications and death Short fast lasting 12 hours or less = Fall in plasma insulin levels and rise in glucagon levels

Match the following patients with the prevalence of malnutrition:

Surgical patients with gastrointestinal disease = About 30% Patients with prolonged hospital stay due to postoperative complications = Up to 60%
