Document Summary
Fatty acids released from adipocytes are another form of energy: muscles can use both forms of energy; brain can only use liver glucose. Upon low glucose levels, energy is needed from fat storage, lipases in. *know what happens when insulin and glucagon are present. Hormone-sensitive lipase degrades triacylglycerols to make glycerol and fatty acids. = activates hormone-sensitive lipase = inhibits hormone-sensitive lipase. Answer: a, high glucagon promotes release of stored energy due to low blood sugar levels. Suppose saurabh kickboxes until he exhausts his body"s supply of glycogen. Saurabh"s muscles obtain energy: glucose made in the liver by gluconeogenesis, fatty acids released from adipocytes, both a and b, neither a nor b. Answer: both a and b are true, however the release of glucose from gluconeogenesis is fast unlike getting glucose from fatty acid breakdown. Oxidation of fatty acids/acetyl-coa biosynthesis (don"t worry about details) In a cell that uses fatty acids for fuel:
