What are the biochemical pathways through which insulin promotes lipogenesis, converting excess glucose into stored fat in adipose tissues?
Insulin activates acetyl-CoA carboxylase, promoting the conversion of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA, a building block for fatty acid synthesis, eventually leading to lipogenesis in adipose tissue.
