The plasma levels of fatty acids and ketone bodies increase in starvation, whereas that of glucose decreases. The metabolic changes on the first day of starvation are like those after an overnight fast. The low blood-sugar level leads to decreased secretion of insulin and increased secretion of glucagon.

perspective that our genes and environmental influences work together to determine our characteristics
topjm [15]

Environmental factors often influence traits independently of genes. Either of these effects can change the proteins that are made from a gene, which in turn affects traits.

How do environment and gene determine our personality?

Some genes increase the characteristic and others work to decrease the same characteristic-complex relationship among the various genes, as well as a variety of random factors, produce the final outcome.

Because of their genetic makeup, individuals differ in their responsiveness to the qualities of the environment. There are unique, genetically influenced reactions to particular experiences to which we are exposed.

The presence of drugs and chemicals in an organism's environment can also influence gene expression in the organism. The environment can affect morphological and physiological development whereas genes influence morphology and physiology, creating a framework within which the environment acts to shape the behavior of an individual.

Hence in this way, genes and environmental influences work together to determine our characteristics.
