Where does Glycerol go?
The liberated Glycerol is not utilized again for triglyceride syntheses, can diffuse rapidly into the blood and once passed into circulation undergoes a dilution process. Glycerol will diffuse widely and rapidly throughout the total body water, disappears from the blood stream and appears in urine. The rate of turnover ( and the metabolic disappearance fo Glycerol from the plasma) is estimated to be about 30 mins. Glycerol is hence rapidly excreted in the urine.
