Recently, inositols, especially myo-inositol and inositol hexakisphosphate, also known as
phytic acid or IP6, with their biological activities received much attention for their role in …

Fatty acids (FAs) are stored safely in the form of triacylglycerol (TAG) in lipid droplet (LD)
organelles by professional storage cells called adipocytes. These lipids are mobilized …

More than a century after discovering NAD+, information is still evolving on the role of this
molecule in health and diseases. The biological functions of NAD+ and NAD+ precursors …

Lipid droplets (LDs) are ubiquitous organelles that store and supply lipids for energy
metabolism, membrane synthesis and production of lipid-derived signaling molecules. While …

Autophagy is an intracellular degradation system that breaks down damaged organelles or
damaged proteins using intracellular lysosomes. Recent studies have also revealed that …

Obesity is considered to significantly increase the risk of the development of a vast range of
metabolic diseases. However, adipogenesis is a complex physiological process, necessary …

Perilipins are abundant lipid droplet (LD) proteins present in all metazoans and also in
Amoebozoa and fungi. Humans express five perilipins, which share a similar domain …

Summary The aquaglyceroporin 7 (AQP7) facilitates permeation of glycerol through cell
membranes and is crucial for lipid metabolism in humans. Glycerol efflux in human …

Previous transcriptomic studies have hypothesized the occurrence of slow myofiber-
phenotype, and dysregulation of lipid metabolism as being associated with the development …

Cellular communication is essential for effective coordination of biological processes. One
major form of intercellular communication occurs via the release of extracellular vesicles …
