The Significance of Glucose and Glucose Conversion

Glucose and glucose conversion play essential roles in the body's energy management. Glucose stored as glycogen in muscles and the liver is used for immediate energy needs, while excess glucose can be converted into fat through de novo lipogenesis. Despite the possibility of converting glucose into fat, the body's primary mechanism is to manage energy partitioning rather than converting an entire molecule into fat.
