A groundbreaking study reveals that neurons can burn fat, challenging the long-held belief that the brain relies solely on glucose for fuel.

While glucose, or sugar, is a well-known fuel for the brain, Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have demonstrated that ...

In a groundbreaking study, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered that the brain can tap into fat droplets as ...

Triglycerides can be broken down through a reaction involving the pancreatic lipase enzyme responsible for hydrolyzing the ester bonds and allowing the fatty acids to be released from the glycerol ...

Specifically, FCS prevents you from breaking down fats (lipids) called triglycerides. Sometimes FCS is called lipoprotein lipase deficiency. When you have FCS, fatty droplets called chylomicrons ...

To uncover how the parasite induces fat loss, the researchers used wildtype and knockout mice that lacked adipocyte triglyceride lipase (ATGL), a key enzyme in lipolysis, in their adipose tissues.

APOC3 is a key regulator in triglyceride-rich lipoprotein metabolism while ANGPTL3 regulates lipids and lipoproteins, including the metabolism of triglycerides, by inhibiting lipoprotein lipase, ...

When triglyceride lipase is silenced, the glyceride levels in midguts and fat bodies tend to increase, while there was a large drop in glyceride levels in ovaries by the end of 24 hours.
