Chapter 6 Metabolism of triacylglycerols

摘要: Publisher Summary Triacylglycerols play a major role in energy storage animals, where they are deposited adipose tissue. This chapter describes the biosynthesis of triacylglycerols, digestion, absorption, and transport lipids, control triacylglycerol synthesis, metabolism triacylglycerols when action insulin is high, high. Most animals stored However, can be liver, heart, skeletal muscle under several conditions metabolic stress supply fatty acids from tissue exceeds need or capacity cells to oxidize them. Although, increased use tissue- cell-culture techniques means that specific effects hormones metabolites on investigated, one biggest problems lipid isolate, characterize, purify, raise antibodies against enzymes, which often tightly associated with membranes. The regulation an important part intermediary metabolism. A greater appreciation this would help alleviate prevent clinical conditions, including diabetes, obesity, hyperlipidemias, atherosclerosis.
