Question

Fed State: explain in adipose tissue the changes in metabolism pathway (Portions,) with their enzymes

Answer 1

In the fed or after meal stage when the absorption of food has occurred ,it is the tendency of our body to store the excess nutrient as adipose tissue.in mammals there are two types of adipocytes ---brown and white .brown fat is specialised for energy production and thermogenesis whereas white fat simply provides shock absorption property . Liver is the chief site for lipogenesis and lipolysis .High -carbohydrate intake stimulates lipogenesis ,whereas fasting decreases the excess glucose and inhibits lipogenesis .Fatty acids when broken down are hydrolysed into fatty acid and glycerol .various forms include VLDL,LDL,HDL,cholestrol and free fatty acid .HDL is beneficial for health whereas LDL leads to severe cardiac diseases such as atherosclerosis and heart failure .
