Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In the postprandial state, glucose is condensed into glycogen and/or converted into fatty acids or amino acids in the liver. In hepatocytes, free fatty acids are esterified with glycerol-3-phosphate to generate triacylglycerol (TAG).
Detailed explanation-2: -The mammalian liver has the capability for both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. In the fed state, a major fate of glucose is glycolysis to pyruvate and lactate, which serve as precursors for lipid synthesis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glucagon is a hormone that triggers liver glycogen to convert back into glucose and to enter your bloodstream so that your body can use it for energy.
