| Description | Our body stores fat in the form of triglycerides that are found in specialized tissue known as adipose tissue. When our glucose storage runs low, our body can metabolize these fat molecules and produce a good amount of energy. The first step in the metabolism of the triglyceride is the release and mobilization of the triglyceride itself. It is first broken down into fatty acids and glycerol and then injected into the bloodstream, where it travels to the designated cell. Once inside the cell, the glycerol is fed into glycolysis. The fatty acids however are transformed into acyl coenzyme A, which is then transported into the mitochondrial matrix. In the matrix, we break down the fatty acid into many ATP molecules and can then use those ATP molecules for energy. |
