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. So let's examine what happens to our glycerol. The glycerol is basically broken down into a molecule known as PGAL or glyceroaldehyde three phosphate, which is basically an intermediate within our glycolysis cycle. So our glycerol ultimately ends up in glycolysis.
