Document Summary
The transport of dietary fat to storage deposits is not regulated it is absorbed and transported to adipose tissues, whereas the release of dietary fat from storage deposits is hormonally regulated. Neutral lipids are stored in adipocytes in the form of lipid droplets, with a core of sterol esters and. The surface of these droplets is coated with perilipins, which is a class of proteins that restrict access to lipid. Droplet, where it converts diacylglycerols to monoacylglycerols: the lipase enzyme monoacylglycerols lipase (mgl) hydrolyzes monoacylglycerols, fatty acids then leave the adipocyte, bind to the serum albumin in the bloodstream and are transferred to the. In the myocytes, fatty acids are oxidized to carbon dioxide, and the energy released by oxidation is conserved in. Carnitine shuttle the transport of fatty acid into the mitochondria: In animal cells, the enzymes for fatty acid oxidation are located in the mitochondrial matrix.
