Insulin impacts eaten fats?
Hi folks,
I know insulin is released into the blood system to lower blood sugar by distributing it to body cells such as fat cells or other energy storages. Does insulin interfer with the fat you ate? I am confused if it does: My concern is if Insulin also processes eaten fat, then the absence of insulin will leave the fat floating in they veins; hence, you may develop cholesterol. I think I am wrong here but trying to make sure. If not, how does the eaten fat get distributed to body cells - including fat cells ? Thanks, J |

Google for "acylation stimulation protein". Besides, even in ketosis there are trace amounts of insulin in the blood. Insulin does, however, *speed up* the storage of fat. |
