Lipid Metabolism
M ost of the lipids found in the body fall into the categories of fatty acids and triacylglycerols; glycerophospholipids and sphingolipids; eicosanoids; cholesterol, bile salts, and steroid hormones; and fat-soluble vitamins. These lipids have very diverse chemical structures and functions. However, they are related by a common property: their relative insolublity in water. Fatty acids, which a...
متن کاملLipid metabolism.
Traditionally, the study of lipid absorption and metabolism in farm animals has centred on the role of dietary lipids in provision of dietary energy and in processes of fat deposition in meat, milk and eggs. Interest in these areas remains intense because of the importance of fat deposition in determining the efficiency and, hence, profitability, of meat and milk production. The content and com...
متن کاملLipid droplets and cellular lipid metabolism.
Among organelles, lipid droplets (LDs) uniquely constitute a hydrophobic phase in the aqueous environment of the cytosol. Their hydrophobic core of neutral lipids stores metabolic energy and membrane components, making LDs hubs for lipid metabolism. In addition, LDs are implicated in a number of other cellular functions, ranging from protein storage and degradation to viral replication. These p...
متن کاملAlcohol and lipid metabolism.
Hepatic lipid metabolism is controlled by several master transcription factors, in particular peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-alpha) and sterol response element binding protein-1 (SREBP-1). Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha is a receptor for free fatty acids (FFA), and can activate genes involved in transport, oxidation, and export of FFA. Sterol response e...
متن کاملLipid metabolism during fasting.
These studies were conducted to understand the relationship between measures of systemic free fatty acid (FFA) reesterification and regional FFA, glycerol, and triglyceride metabolism during fasting. Indirect calorimetry was used to measure fatty acid oxidation in six men after a 60-h fast. Systemic and regional (splanchnic, renal, and leg) FFA ([(3)H]palmitate) and glycerol ([(3)H]glycerol) ki...
