What serious biological process occurs when the human body is completely deprived of glucose for fuel?. It breaks down stored fat, producing weak acids called ketones that cause ketoacidosis. It builds up heavy muscles, producing strong proteins called myosins that cause spasms. It instantly freezes blood, producing cold enzymes called cryogens that cause hypoterms. It heavily absorbs oxigen, producing thick plasmas called alveolis that cause embolisms.
