Endogenous Nutrition
the assimilation by the body of substances that constitute the organism itself, as in starvation and hibernation. Endogenous nutrition involves the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in certain tissues, for example, fatty and muscle tissues. The resulting low-molecular products are used to synthesize substances in other tissues, for example, nerve tissue. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
