Triacylglycerol (TAG) is the primary unit of energy storage in eukaryotic cells. TAG comprises
more than 90% of the content of white adipocytes, and TAG synthesis is essential in …

The ability to store energy in the form of energy-dense TAG (triacylglycerol) and to mobilize
these stores rapidly during times of low carbohydrate availability (fasting or famine) or during …

Triacylglycerol (TAG) in adipose tissue serves as the major energy storage form in higher
eukaryotes. Obesity, resulting from excess white adipose tissue, has increased dramatically …

Although triacylglycerol stores play the critical role in an organism's ability to withstand fuel
deprivation and are strongly associated with such disorders as diabetes, obesity, and …

Since the pathways of glycerolipid biosynthesis were elucidated in the 1950's, considerable
knowledge has been gained about the enzymes that catalyze the lipid biosynthetic reactions …

Lipolysis is the biochemical pathway responsible for the catabolism of triacylglycerol (TAG)
stored in cellular lipid droplets. The hydrolytic cleavage of TAG generates non-esterified fatty …

The intestine plays a prominent role in the biosynthesis of triacylglycerol (triglyceride; TAG).
Digested dietary TAG is repackaged in the intestine to form the hydrophobic core of …

The endemic increase in lipid-associated disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes
mellitus has placed triacylglycerol metabolism and its associated organelle, lipid droplets, in …

Triacylglycerols (TAG) serve as the predominant form of energy storage in mammalian cells,
and TAG synthesis influences conditions such as obesity, fatty liver, and insulin resistance …

The deposition of storage fat in the form of triacylglycerol (TAG) is an evolutionarily
conserved strategy to cope with fluctuations in energy availability and metabolic stress …
