Fate of FA and glycerol TAG-FA cycle Continuous g fat turnover per day Lifetime of TAG in fat cell > 6 months Continuous circle of lipolysis and re-esterification with fat cell or between tissues In postabsorptive state, fat cells provide FA for oxidation by other tissues All glycerol generated by lipolysis released to blood because glycerol kinase is low in fat cells blood [glycerol] as marker for lipolysis rate ~30% FA released during lipolysis undergo re-esterification
