TAGs are broken down into glycerol and fatty acids, what happens to them?
Fats feed glucogenesis in a very efficient way, what is this way?
What are the primary differences between glycolysis and gluconeogenesis?
(1)
When our body requires energy from stored triglycerides, glucagon hormone signals the breakdown of the triglycerides by lipase enzymes to release free fatty acids and glycerol. The glycerol can be converted into glucose, via gluconeogenesis and fatty acids undergo beta-oxidation in the mitochondria to release energy
