Lipid Metabolism
Lipolysis
Lipolysis is the metabolic process through which triacylglycerols (TAGs) break down via hydrolysis into their constituent molecules: glycerol and free fatty acids (FFAs).
Lipogenesis
Lipogenesis is the making of the fatty acid by using the acetyl-coa as the fuel. The fatty acid then will be combined with monogylcerides to form TG.

Patophysiology
The patophysiology of dyslipidemia usually leads to a atherosclerosis or a fat deposition that can lead to xanthoma or xanthelasma. Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in which there is a build up of plaques inside arteries. Xanthomas are deposits of lipids in the skin and sometimes of the subcutaneous tissue (usually expressed in yellow plaques). Xanthoma on eyes known as xanthelasma.
Risk Factors
Genetic factors, smoking habit, obesity, eating patterns, physical activity, stress.
