Amino acids are found in many places, primarily your muscles. If you need energy your body will break down muscles as well as fat to create that energy. Glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids can all be converted to triglycerides. Triglycerides and amino acids can also be converted to glycogen for storage if your muscles and liver run lowâthis is the primary method that you lose fat through exercise, by your liver and muscles being replenished.
In chemistry, particularly in biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic tail (chain), which is either saturated or unsaturated. Most naturally occurring fatty acids have a chain of an even number of carbon atoms, from 12 to 28.Fatty acids are usually derived from triglycerides or phospholipids. When they are not attached to other molecules, they are known as free fatty acids.Fatty acids are important sources of fuel because, when metabolized, they yield large quantities of ATP.hus, saturated fatty acids are saturated with hydrogen (since double bonds reduce the number of hydrogens on each carbon). Because saturated fatty acids have only single bonds, each carbon atom within the chain has 2 hydrogen atoms (except for the omega carbon at the end that has 3 hydrogens).
