lipid metabolism - Coggle Diagram
lipid metabolism
most cholesterol in vertebrates are synthesized in the liver and then exported to other tissues
bile acid
biliary cholesterol
cholesteryl ester
hormones
lipoproteins
glucagon and epinephrine reduce sensitivity of citrate activation
lead to ACC phosphorylation and inactivation
desaturation of fatty acid by fatty acyl-CoA destaurase
human cannot desaturate beyond C9
phospholipid synthesis pathways in eukaryotes
eukaryotic cholesterol biosynthesis
lipoproteins trafficking cholesterol and TAG
regulation of cholesterol metabolism
HDL is cardioprotective
TAG breakdown and resynthesis create a futile cycle
