    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adipocyte

    A typical fat cell is 0.1 mm in diameter [2] with some being twice that size, and others half that size. However, these numerical estimates of fat cell size depend largely on the measurement method and the location of the adipose tissue. [2] The fat stored is in a semi-liquid state, and is composed primarily of triglycerides, and cholesteryl ester.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbohydrate_metabolism

    Because the level of circulatory glucose is largely determined by the intake of dietary carbohydrates, diet controls major aspects of metabolism via insulin. [18] In humans, insulin is made by beta cells in the pancreas, fat is stored in adipose tissue cells, and glycogen is both stored and released as needed by liver cells. Regardless of ...

  5. Ketogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketogenesis

    When the body has excess carbohydrates available, some glucose is fully metabolized, and some of it is stored in the form of glycogen or, upon citrate excess, as fatty acids (see lipogenesis). Coenzyme A is recycled at this step. When the body has no free carbohydrates available, fat must be broken down into acetyl-CoA in order to get energy.

    Glucose from the bloodstream is taken up by GLUT4 from muscle cells (of the skeletal muscle [82] and heart muscle) and fat cells. [83] GLUT14 is expressed exclusively in testicles. [84] Excess glucose is broken down and converted into fatty acids, which are stored as triglycerides.

    It can result in a large baby, as excess sugar that the fetus doesn’t need for energy is stored as fat. Further, babies born to mothers with gestational diabetes often have hypoglycemia.

  9. Lipogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipogenesis

    Through the promotion of fatty acid oxidation and lipogenesis inhibition, leptin was found to control the release of stored glucose from adipose tissues. [1] Other hormones that prevent the stimulation of lipogenesis in adipose cells are growth hormones (GH). Growth hormones result in loss of fat but stimulates muscle gain. [11]
