Final answer:

False. Fatty acyl CoAs do not allosterically inhibit HSL in an unstimulated state.

Step-by-step explanation:

False. Fatty acyl CoAs do not allosterically inhibit HSL (hormone-sensitive lipase) in an unstimulated state. The regulation of HSL activity involves phosphorylation and dephosphorylation processes, as well as the binding of specific proteins.

Acetyl-CoA carboxylase, an enzyme involved in fatty acid synthesis, can be allosterically inhibited by palmitoyl-CoA. However, this is not directly related to the inhibition of HSL.

In summary, fatty acyl CoAs do not allosterically inhibit HSL in an unstimulated state.
