                                Body fat, stored as triglycerides in adipose tissue, represents the body's largest energy reserve, holding roughly 8,800 kilocalories per kilogram. To understand how the body utilizes this vast reserve, it is critical to know how is body fat metabolized. This process is a dynamic interplay of hormones and enzymes that governs energy usage throughout the day.
