The document discusses triglyceride synthesis in different tissues. It states that in adipose tissue, dihydroxyacetone phosphate produced during glycolysis is the precursor for triglyceride synthesis since adipocytes lack glycerol kinase. This means adipocytes require glucose oxidation to store fatty acids as triglycerides. The document then discusses fatty acid synthesis and oxidation, noting the pathways occur in different cellular locations and use different carriers for intermediates.
