What experiments are you talking about? It is very well established that human lipogenesis from sugar is rare. You have to eat a totally fat free diet and push the sugar intake to hundreds of grams to make it happen at all. A human's adipose fat is simply stored dietary fat. Plentiful sugar intake will suppress fat burning and cause all dietary fat to be stored, so obviously loading up on sugar will usually make you a lard-ass. Just somewhat less so than gorging on fat. It should be noted that this state of affairs is not true in animal models. Rats very efficiently form body fat from sugar, for example. |

«Lipogenesis is the process by which acetyl-CoA is converted to fatty acids. The former is an intermediate stage in metabolism of simple sugars, such as glucose, a source of energy of living organisms. Through lipogenesis and subsequent triglyceride synthesis, the energy can be efficiently stored in the form of fats».
