Now the question is, how exactly do we actually harvest the energy that is stored in triglycerides? In fact, how can we use that energy and transform that energy to form our ATP molecules that are used by our body? Now, basically, triglycerides have to undergo three important stages before we can actually obtain those ATP molecules. So we have stage one, stage two and stage number three. Now let's take a look at each one of these stages briefly. So we have the triglycerides actually must be released and mobilized from within our adipose tissue.
