The proportion of free fatty acid molecules undergoing primary reesterification doubled over the physiological portion of the insulin dose-response curve.
Increased insulin levels can significantly enhance the reesterification of fatty acids, which may impact fat storage and metabolism.

the proportion of FFA molecules undergoing primary reesterification doubled over the physiological portion of the insulin dose-response curve (from 0.23 +/- 0.06 to 0.44 +/- 0.07, P < 0.05).
