Explanation

Fats stored in adipocytes can be re-introduced into circulation through the venous route. The process is facilitated by the breakdown of triglycerides in adipocytes into free fatty acids and glycerol, which can then enter the bloodstream through the venous drainage of adipose tissue. Once in circulation, free fatty acids can be taken up by tissues with high energy demands, such as skeletal muscle, and used as an energy source.
