  #1

does insulin increase or decrease blood fatty acid??
and what is the mechanism behind??

thanks.

  #2

For starters: from what I understand insulin the anabolic hormone promotes fatty acid synthesis and glycogen synthesis as opposed to glucagon . comments welcome.

Concept:

Free fatty acids are liberated from chylomicrons by lipoprotein lipase and esterfied into triglycerides for storage in adipose tissue.
