Question:
Identify and explain three different ways that a high fructose meal compared to a high glucose meal can raise plasma triglyceride concentrations by contributing to their greater increased rate of appearance (Ra) into circulation.
The Rate of Appearance:
In metabolism, the rate of appearance (Ra) refers to the rate at which a compound enters the bloodstream or a specific tissue from the site of synthesis, storage, or absorption. For example, in the case of triglycerides, the Ra into circulation reflects the rate at which the body is synthesizing or mobilizing triglycerides from storage in adipose tissue or the liver, and the rate at which they are being taken up by tissues for energy use or storage.
