Now, we know the cells of our body can actually actually use these triglyceride molecules to help generate ATP molecules. But how exactly does this process actually take place? So as we'll see in just a moment, the utilization of these triglycerides to actually help us generate these high energy ATP molecules involves three different steps, three different stages. So in stage one, these triglycerides are actually broken down and mobilized into their fatty acid and glycerol form. Once that takes place, the fatty acids are released into the bloodstream and the bloodstream carries these molecules of fatty acids to their target cell. Once the fatty acid makes its way into the cytoplasm of that target cell, that's when stage B actually takes place.
