Contributions of Different Fatty Acid Sources to Very Low-Density Lipoprotein-Triacylglycerol in the Fasted and Fed States

Abstract

These data: 1) quantify the extent to which the healthy liver manages its use of different sources of FAs that flow to it, 2) demonstrate how the postprandial reduction in adipose-NEFA flux may be partially replaced by other sources, and 3) highlight the potential for dietary FA spillover to support the continued dominance of NEFA as a substrate for VLDL-TG synthesis.
