yes
in fasted states (or when you have used your glycogen stores), glucagon or adrenaline can breakdown stored triglycerides (in adipose tissue) into glycerol and fatty acids.
The glycerol goes to the liver when it is involved in gluconeogenesis (synthesis of glucose from non-carb source).
This is essentially a reversal of glycolysis:
The glycerol molecule is converted to dihydroxyacetone phosphate, which then is converted to fructose 1,6 biphosphate and then after a number of steps, is converted to glucose.
I dont think the glycerol molecule is converted to pyruvate, but instead joins in the pathway at the step decribed above.
Yes, fat can be converted to glucose in the body through a process called gluconeogenesis.
When the body needs energy, it can convert fat into sugar through a process called gluconeogenesis. This occurs in the liver, where fat molecules are broken down into smaller components that can be used to make glucose, the body's primary source of energy.
When you eat more carbohydrates than your body needs for energy, they are converted into fat through a process called de novo lipogenesis. This occurs mainly in the liver, where excess glucose is converted into fatty acids and then stored as fat in adipose tissue.
glucose is stored in fat it is not stored as anything else other than glucose in fat. This is why people are fat because they take in too much glucose and it is not burned off through exercise so instead of the body wasting it, it stores it as fat
The body converts glucose from protein into energy through a process called gluconeogenesis. In this process, the liver and kidneys convert amino acids from protein into glucose, which can then be used by the body as a source of energy.
When the demand for energy is low, animals convert glucose to glycogen to fat. Glucose is sometimes referred to as grape sugar or D-glucose.
fat burn
fat in adipose tissue, carbohydrate in the form of glycogen, and protein which can convert to glucose.
Plants convert unused glucose into starch.
When blood glucose levels drop, it is vital for the body to help stabilize them prevent fainting. The body will take fat reserves and convert them to glucose to do this.
cell use glucose instead of fat because glucose is easy to burn into energy but it takes a lot of workout ot burn fat..
glucose is the sugar in your blood.
No. It does not.
