Mobilization of Fat from Adipose Tissue | Lipid Metabolism

In this article we will discuss about the Mobilization of Fat from Adipose Tissue and its Metabolism:- 1. Meaning of Adipose Tissue 2. Influence of Hormones on Adipose Tissue 3. Role of Brown Adipose Tissue. Meaning of Adipose Tissue: Adipose tissue is the main store of triacylglycerol in the body. Adipose tissue was previously consid­ered an inert storage depot for [...]

Economics of Carbohydrate and Lipid Metabolism | Biochemistry

The below mentioned article provides a short note on the Economics of Carbohydrate and Lipid Metabolism in the whole body. Glucose is converted to fat under optimal nutritional intake. Except glycerol, fat (as fatty acid) cannot produce glucose due to the irreversibility of the oxidative decar­boxylation of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA. Certain tissues are more dependent on the continued supply of [...]

Regulation of Lipid Metabolism (2 Stages)| Biochemistry

The following points highlight the top two stages for regulation of lipid metabolism. The stages are: 1. Regulation of Lipogenesis 2. Regulation of Ketogenesis. Regulation of Lipogenesis: a. Lipogenesis is concerned with the con­version of glucose and intermediate such as pyruvate, lactate and acetyl-CoA to fat. b. The rate of lipogenesis is high in case of a diet containing a [...]
