Group of answer choices
All of them are correct
Conversion to acetyl CoA and ketone bodies during starvation for the brain
Glycerol for pyruvate and glucose in liver.
ATP production via the citric acid cycle in muscle.
What is the fate of glycerol and fatty acids released during lipolysis?
All of them are correct.
Fatty acids released are converted to acetyl CoA and ketone bodies during starvation for the brain.
Glycerol enters glycolysis as glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and is converted to pyruvate through 5 reactions or enters gluconeogenesis to be converted to glucose in liver.
Acetyl-CoA produced from β-oxidation of fatty acids and from glycerol (pyruvate) produce ATP via the citric acid cycle in muscle.
