The phrase "absorptive state" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used in the context of biology or physiology to describe the period after eating when the body is absorbing nutrients from food.
Example: "During the absorptive state, the body prioritizes the storage of glucose as glycogen in the liver and muscles."
Alternatives: "nutrient absorption phase" or "postprandial state".
When you eat again, the body replenishes and stores nutrients for use during the next post absorptive state (between meals).
Thus, it became clear that the integrity of the tight junctions was necessary for the maintenance of an absorptive state of the gut epithelium.
The overall respiratory quotient (RQ) of LF-fed AOiGHD was significantly elevated compared to LF-fed controls (Fig. 5A B, middle panels; note right shift in the percent relative cumulative frequency distribution [PRCF] of RQs, 50th percentile LF-controls RQ 0.829 vs. LF-AOiGHD RQ 0.893, p<0.001) and this difference was more pronounced during the absorptive state (night-time feeding).
Although the rise in GH observed with fasting, which occurs in mice [37] as well as humans, is thought to contribute to a shift in nutrient availability and utilization, the diurnal pattern of RQ in AOiGHD indicates a prolonged reduction in circulating GH levels can also have a profound impact on whole body metabolism in the absorptive state.
20 Death is an absorptive state; once the individual reaches this state, the individual's simulation ends.
The absorptive state was adapted to simulate a prolonged starvation state.
The present study explored the possibility that exercise increases 24-h fat oxidation only when performed in a post-absorptive state, i.e. before breakfast.
Fat oxidation during exercise depends on nutritional state, and exercise performed in the post-absorptive state oxidizes more fat than that performed in the postprandial state.
In a standard post-absorptive state, each participant performed a one-repetition maximum (RM) strength test for bench press and leg press, using free weights and a spotter, according to standard guidelines previously used in this laboratory.
All subjects arrived between 0800 h and 0930 h in an overnight post-absorptive state.
Rats in a post-absorptive state were anesthetised with an intraperitoneal injection of pentobarbitone (30 mg/kg body weight).
