Question
Chapter 14, Problem 14.50EP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for fatty acids not being used as fuel for the brain has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Glucose and fatty acids, both are major sources of fuels. However, fatty acids yield approximately 2.5 times as much energy per gram as carbohydrates (glucose). Fatty acids are comparatively much better than glucose as energy storing molecules. In the body, some organs prefer to use glucose as a source of energy while functioning while some prefer fatty acids. There are also certain organs which prefer both.
