1/ Heard enough Lipoprotein Lipase (LPL)?
The tl:dr -> There's more selective control with fatty acid exchange in tissues than we fully understand... but we have a lot more we've learned recently...

2/ "Preferential uptake of FAs into high demand tissues such as the heart, muscle and brown adipose tissue cannot be achieved by non-specific uptake, which would acutely distribute FAs equally into all cells."
- Translation: there's some selective trafficking going on here.

3/ "A second uptake process modulated by activity of capillary lipoprotein lipase (LpL) involves FAs derived from triglyceride (TG) rich lipoproteins (chylomicrons and very low density lipoproteins." (VLDL)
- Yes, lipoproteins + LPL = hydrolysis of TG to cells

At #LowCarbSeattle! so far it is meet & greet and check out the vendors. Saw @DaveKeto and @siobhan_huggins in the crowd. Mona, the #LowCarbUSA gal that registered me was totally helpful with some accessibility issues I was having.
Had some tech issues with my Kindle/Bluetooth keyboard setup. Note to self - practice with new equip more before trying out at a conference! My Anke charger is AWESOME though!!! @AnkerOfficial
@AnkerOfficial If you are here and want to say hi - I am the gal at the back of the room just as you come in the door. Totally looking forward to the great speakers! I am going to try to tweet throughout the day. We'll see how that goes. I'll be taking lots of notes too.
