from Metabolism Made Easy · host A J Ghalayini, Ph.D.
Triacylglycerol is the universal fat source in dietary fat and stored fat in adipose tissue. It provides energy by releasing fatty acids that can be metabolized by beta oxidation to generate energy. There are 2 distinct strategies at work during the well-fed state and the fasting state that release fatty acids from Triacylglycerol. These strategies are regulated by hormones and involves the activation of specific lipases in the process.
