As a general rule, the shorter the carbon chain, the more efficiently the MCT will be turned into ketones, which are an excellent source of energy for your body — far preferable to glucose, as ketones produce far less reactive oxygen species (ROS) when they are metabolized to produce ATAs a general rule, the shorter the carbon chain, the more efficiently the MCT will be turned into ketones, which are an excellent source of energy for your body — far preferable to glucose, as ketones produce far less reactive oxygen species (ROS) when they are metabolized to produce ATas ketones produce far less reactive oxygen species (ROS) when they are metabolized to produce ATP.

Developing aerobic endurance means that you're training your body to sustain some level of activity for a prolonged period of time, (typically 30 minutes if not much more), and you're utilizing fat as a fuel source rather than glucose (sugar) or some other energy source.

Insulin is a hormone that transports glucose (your body's main source of fuel) from your bloodstream into your cells where it can be used as energy.
