Answer:

β-oxidation and gluconeogenesis

Explanation:

This 22-year-old woman, by not eating her food for a long time, entered a period of prolonged fasting.

Which there are no glycogen reserves, since they were depleted and neither were glucose assimilations by the cells because the person only ingested water.

Prolonged fasting is extremely dangerous because fatty tissues are degraded resulting in ketone bodies that are considered toxic and cross the blood-brain barrier.

Once the fat tissue reserve is completely finished, the body will enter into proteolysis of the body's own structural proteins in order to obtain energy, this is how the phenomenon of abrupt consumption of muscle tissue occurs.
