cells store fat for energy use later on, our body doesn't have a storage tank for protein.

energy demands, lower body
fat stores, and lower glycogen
stores in LMHRs trigger increased production of LDLs
for the purpose of carrying
energy (triglycerides) to
cells that need them, with cholesterol mainly along
for the ride but also used by the
cells for repair and other purposes, as needed.

fat — the
fat cells,
for example, becoming prematurely or abnormally resistant to insulin — could conceivably induce a compensatory inhibition of eating behavior and / or an increase in
