Glyceroneogenesis and the Triglyceride/Fatty Acid Cycle

Everyone who believes Taubes' theories about Glycerol-3-P and not being able to store fat if you don't ingest dietary carbs should read this article.

Glyceroneogenesis and the Triglyceride/Fatty Acid Cycle

We make glucose via gluconeogenesis.  So, too, we make glycerol via glyceroneogenesis.  And we recycle ~50-65% of the FA's released via lipolysis back to trigs.

One interesting thing is the behavior of brown adipose tissue.  The enzyme responsible for re-esterification, PEPCK-C is high in BAT.  But interestingly enough insulin INHIBITS this enzyme while a high protein zero carb diet stimulates it.  

There's lots more  here to digest.  I'll revisit this post and update.
