Lipid droplets are intracellular organelles that are found in most cells, where they have
fundamental roles in metabolism. They function prominently in storing oil-based reserves of …

Dietary fiber (DF) is deemed to be a key component in healthy eating. DF is not a static
collection of undigestible plant materials that pass untouched or unencumbered through the …

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), also called malignant hepatoma, is one of the deadliest
cancers due to its complexities, reoccurrence after surgical resection, metastasis and …

The yeast Yarrowialipolytica has developed very efficient mechanisms for breaking down
and using hydrophobic substrates. It is considered an oleaginous yeast, based on its ability …

Lipid droplets (LDs) are independent organelles that are composed of a lipid ester core and
a surface phospholipid monolayer. Recent studies have revealed many new proteins …

Autophagy is a catabolic process with an essential function in the maintenance of cellular
and tissue homeostasis. It is primarily recognised for its role in the degradation of …

Hormone‐sensitive lipase (HSL) is a pivotal enzyme that mediates triglyceride hydrolysis to
provide free fatty acids and glycerol in adipocytes in a hormonally controlled lipolysis …

Chronic activation of β3-adrenergic receptors (β3-ARs) expands the catabolic activity of both
brown and white adipose tissue by engaging uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1)-dependent and …

Lipid droplets are fat storage organelles present in most eukaryotic cells. They consist of a
neutral lipid core containing mostly triglycerides and sterol esters and covered by a …

Adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) is the rate-limiting enzyme for triacylglycerol (TAG)
hydrolysis in adipocytes. The precise mechanisms whereby ATGL is regulated remain …
