Abstract The liver plays an important role in triacylglycerol (TG) metabolism. It can store large amounts of TG in cytosolic lipid droplets (CLDs), or it can package TG into very-low density lipoproteins (VLDL) that are ...

Fatty acids (FAs) are important compounds either used for energy production through β-oxidation, for membrane lipid synthesis, or for production of lipid mediators (oxylipins) through oxidations. FAs are also cytotoxic and ...

Lipid droplets are highly dynamic cytoplasmic (and nuclear) cell organelles composed of a core of neutral lipids (triglycerides (TG) and cholesterol ester (CE)) surrounded by a monolayer of phospholipids with embedded ...

The post-pharyngeal gland of normal and starvation ants was studied under TEM. This study showed an orgin of lipids droplets from mitochondria (named derivate mitochondria) in the normal ants and the lipids absence or ...

We investigated nuclear neutral-lipid (NL) composition and organization, as NL may represent an alternative source for providing fatty acids and cholesterol (C) to membranes, signaling paths, and transcription factors in ...
