Document Summary
Main tg sources: adipose issue, skeletal issue. Storage form of fat is stored here longer to uilize (more steps to deliver to muscle) Skeletal: between myosin and acin, intramuscular triglycerides: elite athletes store more, extra fat is used more eiciently and quickly (aerobic, higher amounts in obese people, not efecive, don"t know why. Example of tg structure: 3 palmitate fa"s (16-c) Palmitate is the long branch of fa: saturated faty acid (no double bonds, pack chains close (storage, too many: less luid, hard to move things. Mobilizaion: tg breakdown (lipolysis, get fa of glycerol in adipose and skeletal muscle. Transport: fa circulates in blood to muscle (via albumin, albumin acts as a guide for fa to get to muscle. Uptake: fa enters muscle cytosol, need transporter (faty-acid transporter) Acivaion: fa prepared for breakdown, required for faty acid to turn into acetyl coa (2nd uptake, acivated in cytosol, then taken up in mitochondria.
