      Jasmonate, derived from the fatty acid 18:3(Δ9,12,15) in membrane lipids, triggers the plant's defenses in response to insect-inflicted damage.

      The inhibition of carnitine acyltransferase I by malonyl-CoA ensures that the oxidation of fatty acids is inhibited whenever the liver is amply supplied with glucose as fuel and is actively making triacylglycerols from excess glucose.
