fat tissue 3 things will will happen prior to triglycerides reaching an elevated level in the bloodstream 1) It starts with peripheral tissues — since it is IR it will not absorb glucose and glucose will remain in the bloodstream leading to elevated glucose blood levels 2)
Body will recognise elevated glucose levels and immediately will send excess glucose to liver, thinking that once this excess glucose will get converted into triglycerides it will
then be
stored in adipose tissue.
