Document Summary
Need to mobilize adipose tissue so it can go to the location of exercise to be utilized (working muscle) Epinephrine and norepinephrine cause a stimulus to break down fats for energy. Triglyceride gets broken down to diglyceride by rate limiting enzyme (split off 1 fa) Split off another fatty acid by same enzyme to make monoglyceride with 1 fa bound to it. Splitting last fa with 2 enzymes required to make a glycerol + fa. Released in blood stream [ ] in blood increasing during exercise. Does not begin to happen until 15 minutes into exercise. Before 15 min not burning much fat. In one triglyceride there are a lot of hydrogens that are available for the electron transport chain to give us energy: transported by bloodstream to working muscle o o o. Fas use a carrier system to enter the cell. Removal of 2c units by oxidation at the fatty acetyl coa molecule.
