  2. Fatty acid metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid_metabolism

    This occurs in the same way as in the liver, except that these tissues do not release the triglycerides thus produced as VLDL into the blood. Adipose tissue cells store the triglycerides in their fat droplets, ultimately to release them again as free fatty acids and glycerol into the blood (as described above), when the plasma concentration of ...

  3. Lipid metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid_metabolism

    Lipids are stored in white adipose tissue as triglycerides. In a lean young adult human, the mass of triglycerides stored represents about 10–20 kilograms. Triglycerides are formed from a backbone of glycerol with three fatty acids. Free fatty acids are activated into acyl-CoA and esterified to finally reach the triglyceride droplet.

  4. Lipolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipolysis

    Triglycerides are transported through the blood to appropriate tissues (adipose, muscle, etc.) by lipoproteins such as Very-Low-Density-Lipoproteins . Triglycerides present on the VLDL undergo lipolysis by the cellular lipases of target tissues, which yields glycerol and free fatty acids. Free fatty acids released into the blood are then ...

  5. Adipose tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adipose_tissue

    Ectopic fat is the storage of triglycerides in tissues other than adipose tissue, that are supposed to contain only small amounts of fat, such as the liver, skeletal muscle, heart, and pancreas. [1] This can interfere with cellular functions and hence organ function and is associated with insulin resistance in type-2 diabetes. [46]

  6. Triglyceride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triglyceride

    Triglycerides are the main constituents of body fat in humans and other vertebrates as well as vegetable fat. [2] They are also present in the blood to enable the bidirectional transference of adipose fat and blood glucose from the liver and are a major component of human skin oils. [3] Many types of triglycerides exist.

  7. Lipogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipogenesis

    Both the adipose tissue and the liver can synthesize triglycerides. Those produced by the liver are secreted from it in the form of very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL). VLDL particles are secreted directly into blood, where they function to deliver the endogenously derived lipids to peripheral tissues.

    The new study finds that adipose tissue from people who have engaged in endurance exercise for more than 2 years is more likely to have more fat-storing blood vessels and an expanded capacity for ...

  9. Lipoprotein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipoprotein

    Lipoprotein. Structure of a chylomicron (the largest lipoprotein). ApoA, ApoB, ApoC, ApoE are apolipoproteins; green particles are phospholipids; T is triglyceride; C is cholesterol ester. A lipoprotein is a biochemical assembly whose primary function is to transport hydrophobic lipid (also known as fat) molecules in water, as in blood plasma ...
