33
2 main sources of fat in the body...
1. Adipose tissue 2. Intramuscular triglycerides (and plasma)
34
Steps of fat oxidation (6)
1. Lipolysis 2. Removal of FAs from adipose tissue 3. Transport of fat into blood 4. Transport of FAs into muscle 5. Transport of FAs into mitochondria 6. Transport of FAs in beta-oxidation and TCA cycle

36
Lipolysis is the....
Breakdown of triglycerides to FAs and glycerol
37
The hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) breaks down....
ester bond -> initiates lipolysis
38
During rest, ____% of FAs stay in adipocytes
70%
39
During exercise, there is an increase in (3)...
- lipolysis - catecholamines - epinephrine - FA availability
40

glycerol, glucose
41
albumin protein function?
Transports FA from adipocyte into blood after lipolysis
42
______ transports FA from adipocyte into blood
albumin
43
FA transport from adipocyte is dependent on (3):
1. amount of albumin in the blood 2. Available binding sites on the protein 3. Blood flow to the adipose tissue
44
After FAs have left the adipose tissue they need to be transported into...
the muscle cell
45
Requires ???????? proteins to transport FAs into muscle cell
At least 2 FA binding proteins
46
Type ____ fibres have larger intramuscular stores than type ___
Type I, Type II
47
After FAs are in the muscle cell, transport into the mitochondria by ______ then ends up as _____
carnitine, fatty acyl CoA (NOT ACETYL)
48
Increase fat oxidation occurs as exercise duration _____
increases (due to depletion of muscle glycogen)
49
The primary fuel for low-intensity exercise>
fat oxidation
50
In high intensity exercise there is a _____ in fat oxidation, but lipolysis rate is ...??

reduce
56
Short term high fat diet (3-5 days) _____ lipid availability, _____ glycogen stores, and ______ performance and fatigue resistance
