Glycerol:                  Triacyl
1- The glycerol released   Glycerol
cannot be metabolized by   lipase
adipocytes because they
lack glycerol kinase       lipase
enzyme.
2- Glycerol mobilized             lipase
from adipose tissue to
liver then subjected to       Fatty acid:
glycerol kinase that form     Transported by binding to
glycerol-3-P                  serum albumin that carry
3- Glycerol-3-P then          it to various tissues to
converted to DHAP that        supply energy the body.
go to gluconeogenesis to
produce       glucose
necessary for brain.
