Inside our body we have these specialized cells known as adipose cells that function to basically store fatty acids in their triglyceride form. So if we look within a cytoplasm of these adipose cells, we'll find these large structures known as fat globules. And these fat globules consist entirely of individual triglyceride molecules. 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.
