Carbohydrates and lipids integrate into a complex metabolic network that is essential to maintain homeostasis. In insects, as in most metazoans, dietary carbohydrates are taken up monosaccharides whose excess toxic, even at relatively low concentrations. To cope with this toxicity, stored either glycogen or neutral lipids, the latter constituting quasi-unlimited energy store. Breakdown of these stores response demand depends on insect species several physiological parameters. chapter, we review multiple pathways strategies linking insects utilize respond nutrient availability, food scarcity activities.
