in the liver when you are taking c16 or c18 but let's just keep the discussion simple and start with a saturated c16 it's it's the first committed step is going through scd-1 is an enzyme and it adds that double bond it makes a few more steps along the way but ultimately it is increasing a process of lipogenesis it is making more lipid it is increasing the amount of lipid within the cholesterol ester in the triglyceride it is being exported from the liver
