- To explain: Why at anaerobic conditions the consumption of glucose by cells is high and at aerobic conditions the glucose consumption by cells is low.alcholic fatty acid managmentFatty acids appear to stimulate insulin secretion to a much greater extent when glucose is also present. Why is this significant?
