Lipogenesis LIPOGENESIS
Circulating triglycerides (TGs) in the bloodstream are packaged in the blood into lipoproteins which are then split into free fatty acids (FFA) and glycerol by the enzyme LPL to get into the fat cell. Once inside the cell, the FFAs interact with glycerol which is derived from glucose, to form TGs again. These TGs are then stored in the fat cell's large lipid storage droplet. This whole process of esterification of fatty acids (and re-esterifi-cation of those released and not used up in the muscle) requires very little energy and assures that an abundant supply of FFA is readily available as a metabolic fuel. The key factor of importance here is that it is predominantly fats in food, in the form of FFAs which make fats in the fat cell. Glucose, or sugar, is not convened to fat except under
Myth-information. Figure wrapping is claimed by some commercial organisations to reduce body fat because of ‘secret’ herbal mixes applied before wrapping. Physiologically these have no effect on lipolysis. Any weight loss effect in the short term is due to fluid losses alone.
