Economics of Carbohydrate and Lipid Metabolism | Biochemistry

The below mentioned article provides a short note on the Economics of Carbohydrate and Lipid Metabolism in the whole body. Glucose is converted to fat under optimal nutritional intake. Except glycerol, fat (as fatty acid) cannot produce glucose due to the irreversibility of the oxidative decar­boxylation of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA. Certain tissues are more dependent on the continued supply of [...]
