Lipid Metabolism Part 3: Fatty Acid Synthesis

When the body has limited glucose, it begins to burn fat. The first video talked about lipid mobilization (degrading a triacylglycerol into fatty acids and glycerol), converting the glycerol into a glycolosis intermediate, and then transporting the fatty acids into the mitochondrial matrix. The second video talks about beta oxidation (i.e. degrading a fatty acid into acetyl CoA, which can be directly used in the krebs cycle) and ketogenesis (which generates ketones that can be transported through the blood
