<< OK, Tom--
 
 I've been following The Great Debate and have a question. Throughout the
 discussion, you keep saying that elevated glucose will inhibit uptake of
 fats. Are you referring specifically to FFA and VFA here or lipids
 generically? I wasn't aware that cell uptake of VFA was *ever* inhibited.

I'm talking about muscle uptake, not mitochondrial uptake. I believe that 
VFAs behave the same way as other fats at the muscle membrane. Happy to be 
wrong and be educated, though.
