So if we eat excess carbohydrates or protein, these molecules can actually be transformed into fatty acids, then stored as triglycerides in our adipose tissue. This process is what we call fatty acid synthesis. So, fatty acid synthesis takes place predominantly in our liver cells, in hepatocytes, and to a smaller extent, it also takes place in lactating memory glands and an adipose tissue. So, in the next several lectures, we're going to look at the details of this complicated process. But in this lecture, what I'd like to focus in is on seven important facts that you have to know about fatty acid synthesis. So, fact number one, fatty acid synthesis takes place in the cytoplasm, and this is in contrast to the beta oxidation, the breakdown of fatty acids which takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria.
