Lipolysis / l ɪ ˈ p ɒ l ɪ s ɪ s / is the metabolic pathway through which lipid triglycerides are hydrolyzed into a glycerol and free fatty acids. It is used to mobilize stored energy during fasting or exercise , and usually occurs in fat adipocytes .
The main function of cholesterol is controlling the cell membrane fluidity. [26] Steroid – see also steroidogenesis: Steroids are one of the important cell signaling molecules. [26] Triacylglycerols (fats) – see also lipolysis and lipogenesis: Triacylglycerols are the major form of energy storage in human body. [1]
A diagrammatic illustration of the process of lipolysis (in a fat cell) induced by high epinephrine and low insulin levels in the blood. Epinephrine binds to a beta-adrenergic receptor in the cell membrane of the adipocyte, which causes cAMP to be generated inside the cell.
In particular, Perilipin 5 is a lipid droplet-associated protein whose function is to keep the balance between lipolysis and lipogenesis, as well as maintaining lipid droplet homeostasis. For example, in oxidative tissues , muscular tissues and cardiac tissues , PLIN5 promotes association between lipid droplets and mitochondria.
