“When lipolysis outraces lipogenesis and releases fatty acids into the blood, they diffuse into all cells of the body to be used as fuel.”
“These hormones accelerate catabolism, hepatic glucose gluconeogenesis, and lipolysis, further elevating the blood glucose level.”
“In other words, it's the chief gatekeeper for stimulating lipolysis and slowing lipogenesis.”
lipogenesis
(biochemistry) The biochemical production of fat, especially the conversion of carbohydrate into fat so that it may be stored as a long-term source of energy when food is scarce
