    GlossaryLipid Production (Lipid Biosynthesis)

    cells create essential fats and oils for energy and structure

    Lipid production, also known as lipid synthesis or lipid biosynthesis, is the process by which cells create lipids, which are essential fats and oils. These lipids play crucial roles in storing energy, forming cell membranes, and serving as signaling molecules. The process involves converting simpler molecules like acetyl-CoA into complex lipids through enzymatic reactions, primarily occurring in the liver and adipose tissue.
