Most tissues of the body can use FFA (Free Fatty Acid - Wolne Kwasy Tluszczowe
) for fuel if it is available. This includes skeletal muscle, the heart, and most organs. However, there are ohter issues such as the BRAIN, red blood cells, the renal medulla, bone marrow and Type II muscle fibers which cannot use FFA and require glucose. (1)
The fact that the BRAIN is incapable of using FFA for fuel has led to one of the biggest misconceptions about human psysiology: that the brain can ONLY use glucose for fuel.While it is true that the brain normally runs on glucose, the brain will readily use ketones for fuel if they are available.
