Final answer:

Conditions likely to favor FFA mobilization for energy use include high-intensity exercise and low-intensity exercise.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditions likely to favor FFA mobilization for energy use include:


  1. High-intensity exercise: During high-intensity exercise, the body requires a rapid and large amount of energy. This leads to the release and mobilization of Free Fatty Acids (FFAs) from adipose tissue to be used as a fuel source.

  2. Low-intensity exercise: During low-intensity exercise, the body primarily uses fat as an energy source. The prolonged duration of low-intensity exercise allows for the utilization of FFAs as an energy substrate.

In contrast, high insulin levels and high carbohydrate intake promote the storage of glucose as glycogen and inhibit FFA mobilization for energy use.
