  2. Lipid metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid_metabolism

    In animals, these fats are obtained from food and are synthesized by the liver. [1] Lipogenesis is the process of synthesizing these fats. [2] [3] The majority of lipids found in the human body from ingesting food are triglycerides and cholesterol. [4] Other types of lipids found in the body are fatty acids and membrane lipids.

  3. Milk fat globule membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk_fat_globule_membrane

    Structure of Milk fat globule membrane in the mammary alveolus. Milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) is a complex and unique structure composed primarily of lipids and proteins that surrounds milk fat globule secreted from the milk producing cells of humans and other mammals.

  4. Fatty acid synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid_synthesis

    The pyruvate produced by glycolysis is an important intermediary in the conversion of carbohydrates into fatty acids and cholesterol. [7] This occurs via the conversion of pyruvate into acetyl-CoA in the mitochondrion. However, this acetyl-CoA needs to be transported into cytosol where the synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol occurs.

  5. Cholesterol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesterol

    Cholesterol is the principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in animal fats and oils. [3] [4]Cholesterol is biosynthesized by all animal cells [citation needed] and is an essential structural and signaling component of animal cell membranes.

  6. Milk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk

    A glass of cow milk Cows in a rotary milking parlor. Milk is a white liquid food produced by the mammary glands of mammals.It is the primary source of nutrition for young mammals (including breastfed human infants) before they are able to digest solid food. [1]

  7. Fatty acid metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid_metabolism

    In humans, fatty acids are formed from carbohydrates predominantly in the liver and adipose tissue, as well as in the mammary glands during lactation. The pyruvate produced by glycolysis is an important intermediary in the conversion of carbohydrates into fatty acids and cholesterol. [34]

  8. Cholesteryl ester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesteryl_ester

    They are hydrolyzed by pancreatic enzymes, such as cholesterol esterase, to produce cholesterol and free fatty acids. [1] They are associated with atherosclerosis. [2] Cholesteryl ester is found in human brains as lipid droplets which store and transport cholesterol. [3]

  9. Lipid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid

    For example, in humans, the desaturation of stearic acid by stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 produces oleic acid. The doubly unsaturated fatty acid linoleic acid as well as the triply unsaturated α-linolenic acid cannot be synthesized in mammalian tissues, and are therefore essential fatty acids and must be obtained from the diet.
