10. Energy Storage
Glucose is the ideal fuel for all cells in the body. This means that the body must store as much glucose as it can and be able to liberate it quickly when needed. Glucose is stored in the body as glycogen, which is formed through glycogenesis and released through glycogenolysis. Gluconeogenesis is the process through which glucose is produced ...
Understanding Essential Body Fat vs. Storage Body Fat
Essential body fat is necessary for life and the proper functioning of our bodies, while storage body fat is, as the name suggests, fat that is stored and can be used as energy when needed. This differentiation is fundamental in understanding body composition and its impacts on health, guiding us toward more informed choices about …
