Answer #1

Fatty acid biosynthesis

Fatty acid oxidation

​​​​​​Regulation of Fatty acid oxidation:

The availability of Free fatty acids (FFA) regulate the net utilisation through fatty acid oxidation.

Levels of FFA are in turn controlled by Glucagon and Insulin. Glucagon increases FFA level and Insulin decreases FFA levels. Therefore Glucagon stimulates fatty acid oxidation whereas insulin inhibits fatty acid oxidation.

Glucagon inhibits fatty acid synthesis and promotes fatty acid oxidation. Insulin favours fatty acid synthesis but inhibits fatty acid oxidation.
