All tissues and most cells are capable of some biosynthesis of triacylglycerols, although
some are better adapted for this purpose than others. Some tissues also store and secrete …

The presence of elevated circulating triacylglycerol (TG)‐rich very low density lipoprotein (VLDL)
and apolipoprotein B‐100 (apoB‐100) levels represents an independent risk factor for …

Triacylglycerol (TG) is a storage lipid which serves as an energy reservoir and a source of
signalling molecules and substrates for membrane biogenesis. TG is essential for many …

Contacts between organelles create microdomains that play major roles in regulating key
intracellular activities and signaling pathways, but whether they also regulate systemic …

A membrane-associated sn-1,2(2,3)-diacylglycerol transacylase activity was purified 550-fold
from the microsomes of rat intestinal villus cells. The enzyme was solubilized with the …

Many disease of the heart cause changes in heart sounds and additional murmurs before
other signs and symptoms appear. Hence, heart sound analysis by auscultation is the primary …

Lipases and esterases constitute a large category of enzymes. They are ubiquitous in nature,
found in bacteria, fungi, and animals. The family members address a wide variety of …

Mammalian carboxylesterases hydrolyze a wide range of xenobiotic and endogenous
compounds, including lipid esters. Physiological functions of carboxylesterases in lipid …

Aims Lysine acetylation is a novel post-translational pathway that regulates the activities of
enzymes involved in both fatty acid and glucose metabolism. We examined whether lysine …

Background: Prognostic significance of adiposity, at the time of cancer diagnosis, on survival
is not clear. Body mass index (kg m− 2) does not provide an appropriate assessment of …
