Under what physiological conditions do adipocytes mobilize their TAG stores through lipolysis?
Under what physiological conditions do adipocytes mobilize their TAG stores through lipolysis?
- After a meal, due to increased insulin
- When metabolic fuels are low and/or energy demand is high (correct)
- When adipocytes secrete hormones like leptin and adiponectin
