Sarcopenia is an age-related disease associated with loss of muscle mass and strength.
This geriatric syndrome predisposes elderly individuals to a disability, falls, fractures, and …

This review summarizes how fatty acid (FA) oxidation is regulated in skeletal muscle during
exercise. From the available evidence it seems that acetyl-CoA availability in the …

Skeletal muscle is one of the main regulators of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in our
organism, and therefore, it is highly susceptible to changes in glucose and fatty acid (FA) …

The discovery by Dr. Constantine Londos of perilipin 1, the major scaffold protein at the
surface of cytosolic lipid droplets in adipocytes, marked a fundamental conceptual change in …

Adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) is the key-enzyme for the release of fatty acids (FAs) from
triacylglycerol (TG) stores during intracellular lipolysis producing FAs used for energy …

During exercise, the supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is essential for the energy-
dependent processes that underpin ongoing contractile activity. These pathways involve …

Lipid droplets, classically regarded as static storage organelles, are currently considered as
dynamic structures involved in key processes of lipid metabolism, cellular homeostasis and …

The corpus luteum is an endocrine gland that synthesizes the steroid hormone
progesterone. luteinizing hormone (LH) is a key luteotropic hormone that stimulates …

Cytoplasmic lipid droplets (LDs) can store neutral lipids as an energy source when needed
and also regulate the key metabolic processes of intracellular lipid accumulation, which is …

Adequate energy storage is essential for sustaining healthy life. Lipid droplet (LD) is the
subcellular organelle that stores energy in the form of neutral lipids and releases fatty acids …
