Document Summary
Sources of fatty acids in the systemic circulation. Beta receptors sensitivity to catecholamine"s is greatest in intraabdominal/visceral fat: fats that are available in visceral are easier mobilized therefore better chance to be oxidized/broken down. Greater subcutaneous adipose tissue deposit in whole body then in intraabdominal tissue: however, that tissue is much more receptive to catecholamine stimulation = breakdown is greater. Fa"s released from intraabdominal are taken up by the liver where they are repacked as vldl and ldl: these are the ones that have a greater effect on cvd because of ldl, Vldl: high vldl/ldl is associated with cardiovascular disease. Most of the ffa"s in blood are released from subcutaneous adipose tissue. Ldl, vldl contribute to plaque formation in arteries: ldl + vldl will accumulate the fat contents in atherosclerotic plaques, hdl will carry them away, why visceral fat is more dangerous then subcutaneous fat.
