In the fed state what is the fate of dietary fatty acids?
They are broken down by glucagon into two carbons molecules to form ketones
- They compete for energy production with glucose and protein
- They are taken into cells by the action of lipoprotein lipase for storage of energy
- High insulin delays their uptake into cells to make them available to the liver for lipogenesis
- They are oxidised in the blood and engulfed by foam cells
