Glyceroneogenesis and the triglyceride/fatty acid cycle
Open accessAbstract
During fasting in all mammals, triglyceride stored in adipose tissue is hydrolyzed by a hormone-sensitive lipase to produce free fatty acids (FFA)1 and glycerol. Detailed studies of the balance of glycerol and FFA released from white adipose tissue (WAT) during starvation have noted considerable re-esterification of the FFA in adipose tissue during periods of active lipolysis. For example, in rats fasted for 24 h, about 30% of the FFA is recycled back to triglyceride in WAT (1). In humans, the recycling in this tissue has been estimated to be as high as 40% (2).

Released FFAs from VAT could be effectively redistributed to the SkM, which has undergone structural and biochemical adaptation for their utilization, which at the same time decreases availability of FFAs that can eventually be re-esterified and reincorporated into VAT.
“Thus, released FFAs from this depot could be effectively redistributed to the SkM (which has undergone structural and biochemical adaptation for their utilization), which at the same time decreases availability of FFAs that can eventually be re-esterified and reincorporated into VAT [251].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
