where they are quickly converted to glucose

…they are lipophillic and are readily absorbed into fat. That’s why we pack on fat in the adipose tissue when we consume too much fat. Too much fat will absorb the blood albumin proteins and cause one to get hungry more often while carbohydrates only rely on insulin for transport to muscle and brain tissue. Fat will get you across the frozen fields of Alaska but you may not have much muscle when you get there. Valine and Isoleucine can be converted into glucose if the need arises. Leucine forms cholesterol in the body and glutamate in the brain. It is also responsible for protein translation, or protein folding. Too much can cause brain damage if not regulated by adenosine or some inhibitory neurotransmitter.
Over production of the leucine zipper can generate cancer.
