So a special type of enzyme known as lipase basically breaks down our triglycerides into the three fatty acids and a single glycerol and they go into the bloodstream of our body. Now, the bloodstream is composed predominantly of water. Glycerol is actually water soluble and it ends up traveling to the cytoplasm of liver cells. However, fatty acids are hydrophobic and they have to attach to special type of globular protein or carrier protein known as serum albumin. And what our albumin basically does is it attaches our fatty acids and transports them to the location, to the cell that requires energy. So once our products of this breakdown of triglyceride ends up in the cytoplasm of the cell, they follow different pathways.
