HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -Excess glucose gets stored in the liver as glycogen or, with the help of insulin, converted into fatty acids, circulated to other parts of the body and stored as fat in adipose tissue.

Detailed explanation-2: -Excess fatty acids are converted back to triglycerides (which is part of the panel of tests Doctors often run) and largely stored in fat or adipose tissue. Some are stored in muscle tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -If you saturate your body with an excessively high number of calories and the majority of these calories are from carbohydrates, then the excess carbs are converted into fat, or adipose tissue, for longer term storage.

Detailed explanation-4: -Our body stores excess glucose as glycogen (a polymer of glucose), which becomes liberated in times of fasting. Glucose is also derivable from products of fat and protein break-down through the process of gluconeogenesis.
