What is a feature of surplus dietary fat?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Surplus dietary fat is almost entirely stored as adipose tissue, leading to weight gain and potentially obesity.

Answer: B 
 Excess dietary fat can stimulate fat oxidation, but only up to a certain point. Once the body's energy needs are met, further oxidation of fat may not occur and instead, the excess fat is stored.

Answer: C 
 Surplus dietary fat does not necessarily lead to an increase in the breakdown of body protein. However, if the diet is also deficient in protein, the body may resort to breaking down muscle tissue to meet its protein needs.

Answer: D 
 Surplus dietary fat does not affect vitamin A stores. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that is stored in the liver and fat tissue, but excess dietary fat does not deplete these stores.

Answer: E 
 Surplus dietary fat has no direct effect on lactate release. Lactate is a byproduct of anaerobic metabolism in the muscles and does not rely on dietary fat intake.
