WHEN GLUCOSE IS HIGH i)Adipose tissue side=> glucose enters adipose tissue->-> leads to NEFA->TG hence no NEFA leaves adipose tissue to enter blood. ii) on the muscle side=> glucose is used b/c NEFA is sparse. WHEN GLUCOSE IS LOW i) on the adipose tissue side=>Since low glucose TG->NEFA w/c leaves into the blood. ii) on the muscle side=> NEFA is plentiful and glucose is sparse=> muscle uses NEFA. iii) In the liver-> if blood glucose falls too much the the NEFA->ketones rxn couples with protein->glucose. <
