Fat is usually stored in the body in the form of triglycerids. When fat is used, it's usually not turned into glucose, but rather into fatty acids, that are then released in the blood and reach the cells that need extra energy, where they are used by the mitochondria to power said cells. The signaling that triggers this is in fact done by a bunch of hormones that do indeed circulate in the blood to reach the cells specialized in storing fat, called adipocytes.

Depending of what triggers the transformation of fat into fatty acids( a process called lipolysis), those hormones could be insulin, epinephrin, growth hormone, etc.

You could extend that remark to any clothes prominently displaying pretty much any brand as far as I'm concerned. You're paying extra for the privilege of being a walking advertisement.

"Once I put this salve on a small wound, and a couple of weeks later it was healed, which proves it's basically a panacea that probably also cures cancer."

And that's why we need fines proportional to an individual's actual net worth.

So they made his birthplace a police station, which I guess is not the worse idea if you don't want to take it down. But as long as it's there, you know it's going to be used as a symbol and a place of remembrance for the idiots who are nostalgic of the good ol' fascist times.
