What is the function of fat in the body?
Fats or lipids have many uses in the body. Any food material is stored in the body in the form of Fats. Fats also provide insulation to the body, especially to those animals living in very cold regions. Fats are metabolized to release greater amount of energy than would be normally released by other sources like carbohydrates, etc. They are also important to store certain vitamins like vitamin A,D,E and K which are soluble in fats and insoluble in water.
