When you eat a fatty food, it moves through the stomach andon to the intestines.
当你食用富含高脂肪的食物时,脂肪通过胃流入肠道 。
In the intestines, a number of processes occur to transfer fat from the foodto special fat cells in your body.
在肠道中,脂肪经过一系列的消化流程从食物转化为体内的特殊脂肪细胞 。
First, the gall bladder produces bile that breaks the food's fat droplets into smaller droplets.
首先,胆囊分泌胆汁分解食物脂肪滴,使其更小 。
Next,the pancreas secretes enzymes that attack the fat droplets and break them down into two parts:fatty acids and glycerol.
然后,胰腺分泌胰腺酶作用于脂肪滴,将其分解为两个部分:脂肪酸和甘油 。
This happens because fat droplets are too big to pass through cell membranes.
这是因为脂肪滴过大,无法穿过细胞膜 。
The broken downfat is absorbed by the cells lining the intestine, where it is reassembled into fat molecules andeventually shuttled into the bloodstream with the help of lipoprotein particles.
分解的脂肪被肠粘膜细胞吸收,重组成脂肪细胞,最后负载在脂蛋白颗粒上进入血液循环 。
For the most part fat is stored in the fat cells that compose fatty tissue.
大部分的脂肪储存在脂肪细胞内,形成脂肪组织 。
Think of a fat cell as a tinyplastic bag filled with a drop of fat.
脂肪细胞好比一个容纳脂肪滴的塑料袋 。
Interestingly, fat cells do not multiply.
有趣的是,脂肪细胞并不会变多 。
The body contains a finitenumber of fat cells that expand as they absorb fat.
身体内的脂肪细胞数量有限,它们在吸收脂肪后体积膨胀 。
So how can you make those fat cells smaller?
那么,如何使得这些脂肪细胞变小?
Eat well and exercise.
健康饮食和运动 。
When you work out, yourbody burns energy, primarily in the form of glucose.
运动时,身体消耗葡萄糖以燃烧能量 。
After breaking down stores of carbohydratesto produce glucose, the body goes after fat, which it breaks down into fatty acids that can also beused to make glucose.
当储备的碳水化合物转化成的葡萄糖被完全消耗后,身体就开始分解脂肪,由此产生脂肪酸,而脂肪酸也会产生葡萄糖 。
