What acids forms when the body digests fats rather than carbohydrates?

When the body digests fats instead of carbohydrates, it primarily produces fatty acids and glycerol. Specifically, the breakdown of triglycerides results in free fatty acids, which can include saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Additionally, during prolonged fat metabolism, especially in low-carbohydrate conditions, ketone bodies such as acetoacetate and beta-hydroxybutyrate are formed, which can serve as an alternative energy source.
