Lipids are absorbed ... hydration, and oxidation to form a beta-keto acid. The acetyl-CoA then converts to ATP, CO 2, and H 2 O using the citric acid cycle and releases energy of 106 ATP.

Through transcriptomic analyses of lipid pathways in human and rat pancreatic islets, the researchers revealed how a cycle of fat storage and mobilization (the glycerolipid/NEFA cycle) helps beta ...
