im trying to get this concept--just let me know if its correct. please feel free to add on any points!
After a meal: glycogen synthase is required for glycogen synthesis. the adipocytes secrete Lipoprotein Lipase which catalyzes the breakdown of triacylglycerols into fatty acids and glycerols. the fatty acids enter the adipocytes to be as triacylglycerols and the glycerols travel up to the liver
Fasting state, stress, excercise: glycogen phosphorylase is needed for the breakdown of glycogen. its broken dwon into glucose-6-phosphate; which is only present in the liver and kidney. the adipocytes begin to break down because of increasing levels of CAMP which activates HSL. This hormone causes cleavage of FA and glycerold from TAG. The FA are used by the kidneys and muscle for ATP and go to the liver ketone production. glycerol goes to the liver and is used in gluconeogenesis.
