While plasma glucose, insulin, and carbohydrate oxidation did not change significantly,
plasma free fatty acid levels rose from 432 ± 31 to 848 ± 135 µEq / liter and were accompanied by significant increases in fat oxidation during the last hour of the test.
Dose - dependent effect of insulin on
plasma free fatty acid turnover and oxidation in humans (Bonadonna et al., 1990)
As you check out the graph above, think of plasma glucose as something you'd get from a gel or sports drink or bar (or from the breakdown of protein);
plasma free fatty acids as something you'd get from breaking down your own fat tissue, or from a dietary source of fat; muscle triglycerides as stored fat in muscle (or perhaps from an external source like coconut oil, if that's your fuel of choice), and muscle glycogen as your body's storage carbohydrate.
It concluded that: «Raising
plasma free fatty acids decreased myocardial PCr / ATP and reduced cognition, which suggests that a high - fat diet is detrimental to heart and brain in healthy subjects.»
In this study, fructose led to greater post prandial serum levels of lactate and fructose but surprisingly had lower levels of
plasma free fatty acids than glucose.
Plasma free fatty acids did not change in the obese.

Plasma free or non-esterified
fatty acids are an important energy source for most body tissues.
No significant differences were observed in fasting
plasma concentrations of
free fatty acids, glucose, or insulin measured during visit CRC1, CRC2, or CRC3 (Table 6).
Albumin normally constitutes about 60 % of human
plasma protein and plays an important role in regulating blood volume by maintaining the oncoosmotic pressure of blood needed to avoid edema, and by serving as the carrier for hydrophobic molecules, including lipid soluble hormones, bile salts, unconjugated bilirubin,
free fatty acids (apoprotein), calcium, ions (transferrin), and some drugs (e.g., warfarin, phenobutazone, clofibrate & phenytoin).
The scientists found that there were no differences in «
plasma glucose,
free fatty acids, ketone bodies, insulin, and epinephrine concentrations» between fasting and non-fasting conditions.
The researchers found that there were no differences in «

Consequently, the
plasma concentration of
free fatty acids begins to rise within minutes.
Omega - 3s as re-esterified triglycerides, natural triglycerides, and
free fatty acids have somewhat higher bioavailability than ethyl esters, but consumption of all forms significantly increases
plasma EPA and DHA levels [33,35].
These powerful emotions trigger adrenal hormone release — the physiological effects of which include activation of adipocyte lipase (resulting in mobilization of
free fatty acids) and partial inhibition of protein synthesis, i.e., the
plasma amino
acids which are normally (readily) utilized by nonmalignant cells for protein synthesis are only partially used resulting in an increase in the availability of amino
acids to meet tumor cell metabolic needs.
(a) The oxidative catabolism of
free fatty acids and amino
acids (via the Respiratory Chain and Citric
Acid Cycle) might be inhibited in hypoxic cancer cells via the judicious use of agents which inhibit their availability, i.e., partially inhibit hepatic fatty acid synthesis and keep plasma amino acid levels within the normal range, thus decreasing ATP product

Lactate, which increases during starvation, can induce hepatic ketogenesis.2 Low - carbohydrate, fat - rich meals can enhance alpha - cell secretion of glucagon and lower insulin concentrations.3, 4
Plasma fatty acid concentrations can be twice as high during low - carbohydrate diets as compared with the usual carbohydrate intake in the postabsorptive period.5 Increased concentrations of
free fatty acids in the absence of carbohydrate - induced inhibition of beta - oxidation of
fatty acids and in the presence of an abnormally high ratio of glucagon to insulin and elevated concentrations of lactate may have caused ketoacidosis in our patient, who was trying to avoid all dietary carbohydrates.
Omega 3
fatty acids are good for decreasing insulin sensitivity, reducing insulin resistance, and the antioxidant in omega 3 helps reduce
plasma free radicals and insulin levels in both cats and humans.
