Which metabolic change is associated with increased levels of lipolysis? A) Enhanced glucose uptake in muscles B) Decreased fatty acid availability C) Inhibition of ketogenesis D) Increased fatty acid release for energy
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the metabolic change that occurs as a result of increased lipolysis, which is the breakdown of fats. It is important to identify which option correctly describes what happens during increased lipolysis.
Answer
Increased fatty acid release for energy
Increased lipolysis is associated with the increased release of fatty acids for energy.
Answer for screen readers
Increased lipolysis is associated with the increased release of fatty acids for energy.
More Information
Lipolysis is the metabolic pathway through which triacylglycerols stored in fat cells are broken down into free fatty acids and glycerol, which can then be used for energy production.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing lipolysis with processes like lipogenesis or glycolysis, which are different metabolic pathways.
