Lipid metabolism is the synthesis and degradation of lipids in cells, involving the breakdown or storage of fats for energy and the synthesis of structural and functional lipids, such as those involved in the construction of cell membranes. ...Lipogenesisis the process of synthesizing these fats. ...
What are the major lipids in the bloodstream? Cholesterol and triglycerides (TGs) are the major circulating lipids. Cholesterol is used by all cells for the synthesis and repair of membranes and intracellular organelles and by the adrenal glands and gonads as a substrate to synthesize adrenal and...
Lipid metabolism is the synthesis and degradation of lipids in cells, involving the breakdown or storage of fats for energy and the synthesis of structural and functional lipids, such as those involved in the construction of cell membranes. In animals, these fats are obtained from food or are s...

What is protein and lipid synthesis? What is the sugar found in an RNA nucleotide? Which one of the common elements is NOT found in all four macromolecules (proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids)? Explain. Can a sugar monomer be broken down further?
Thromboxane A2 is a member of the group oflipidsknown as eicosanoids, which act as signaling molecules in the human body. The thromboxane family of eicosanoids also includes thromboxane B2. Activatedplateletsuse the enzyme thromboxane-Asynthaseto convert prostaglandin H2 to thromboxane A2. The lipid ...
Ampelopsin, also known as dihydromyricetin and DHM, when purported as an effective ingredient in supplements and other tonics, is a flavanonol, a type of flavonoid. It is found in the Ampelopsis species japonica, megalophylla, and grossedentata; Cercidiphyllum japonicum; Hovenia dulcis; Rhododendro...
What is the action of the CYP450 enzymes with regard to drug metabolism and toxicity? Explain why the metabolism of a C15 fatty acid can lead to the net synthesis of glucose, but the metabolism of a C16 fatty acid cannot. What is the function of an enzyme?
What is Biochemistry? - Biochemistry is the study of the chemical substances and vital processes occurring in live organisms. Biochemistry is the study of all the life processes within a living organism
Glycolipids are glycoconjugates of lipids that are generally found on the extracellular face of eukaryotic cellular membranes, and function to maintain stability of the membrane and to facilitate cell–cell interactions. Glycolipids can also act as receptors for viruses and other pathogens to enter cells...
