    biological process breaking down fats into glycerol and fatty acids

    Lipolysis is the biological process where fats (lipids) stored in fat cells (adipocytes) are broken down into glycerol and free fatty acids. This process is crucial for providing energy to the body, especially during periods of fasting or intense exercise, and is regulated by hormones such as adrenaline, noradrenaline, and insulin.
