Insulin acts primarily to stimulate glucose uptake by three tissues adipose (fat), muscle, and liver that are important in the metabolism and storage of nutrients.
The fat body is the insect's equivalent of the liver, and is the major tissue for metabolism and storage of nutrients, and the source of most of the proteins that circulate in the hemolymph [21].
A handful of studies reported that the dominant vegetation could influence soil properties [16], [17] and these species-specific effects may be caused by inter-specific differences in uptake and storage of nutrients in above-ground biomass, input of nutrients from litter, litter characteristics, microbial association or organic acid exudation [15].
These changes occur to allow the efficient storage of nutrients during feeding and the rapid use of stored nutrients, with minimal catabolism of maternal protein, during fasting [ 26].
The old leaves provide nutrients to tea plants and play important roles in the storage of nutrients that are required for the germination and growth of new shoots.
Active storage of nutrients and efficient disposal of blood glucose after a meal are characteristic of healthy metabolism (Storlien et al, 2004).
Integrated nutrient management could involve reallocation of nutrients via regulation of transporters, storage of nutrients in energy-rich compounds, and recovery of nutrients from senescent cells to sink organs, the organogenic nodule.
The central nervous system provides the feedback control system for integration of energy expenditure and for digestion, absorption, transport, and storage of nutrients, and mobilization and utilization of fuels.
Their distribution patterns differ slightly, indicating that they are not part of common complexes and emphasizing the role of the region near the provascular bundles in the storage of nutrients.
The liver is the largest organ in the body and performs a host of functions including the processing and storage of nutrients and vitamins, degradation or elimination of metabolites, and the synthesis of plasma proteins including coagulation factors.
