    GlossaryLipid Metabolism

    processes by which the body breaks down and utilizes fats

    Lipid metabolism, also known as fat metabolism, refers to the processes by which the body breaks down and utilizes fats for energy, as well as the synthesis and storage of fats. This involves the digestion of dietary fats, the transport of lipids through the bloodstream, and the conversion of fats into energy or storage molecules like triglycerides. Key pathways include beta-oxidation, where fatty acids are broken down in the mitochondria, and lipogenesis, where new fats are synthesized.
