| Lipid uptake within the central fat depots is higher than in peripheral fat depots (specifically the femoral-gluteal regions), perhaps because of increased sensitivity to lipoprotein lipase (LPL)-activating hormones (eg, cortisol in omental adipocytes), so that fatty acids transported to this site are consequently taken up and stored as diglycerides and triglycerides. Mono- and diglycerides--Mono- and diglycerides are fats and therefore gluten-free. They also contain small amounts of other fat molecules called diglycerides, or diacylglycerides. |
