Fatty acid metabolism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fatty acids are an important source of energy for many organisms. Excess glucose can be stored efficiently as fat. Triglycerides yield more than twice as much energy for the same mass as do carbohydr...

Hepatic fatty acid oxidation occurs by three pathways: ... Stimulation of these pathways either individually or collectively could help remove excess free fatty acids from the liver and diminish the occurrence of NASH. Nuclear receptors are transcription factors that regulate metabolism of various biologic compounds.

Fatty acid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In chemistry, especially biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid often with a long unbranched aliphatic tail (chain), which is either saturated or unsaturated. Carboxylic acids as short as b...

The mechanisms by which ethanol causes accumulation of hepatic triacylglycerols are complex. ... It has been proposed that nitric oxide/cyclic GMP signaling pathway may be involved in regulation of fatty acid metabolism in the liver. Here, we investigated if this mechanism may have a role in adaptation to ethanol consumption.

The fetus requires an adequate supply of fatty acids for optimum growth and development. ... The fetus requires an adequate supply of fatty acids for optimum growth and development. It has been hypothesized that reduced activity of enzymes of fatty acid metabolism could contribute to inadequate fetal growth.

Up to this point we have described dietary fatty acid metabolism; namely how dietary fats get broken down and either stored in fat cells ; (adipocytes) for energy reserves or utilized immediately for energy by respiring cells such as those in active muscles (myocytes).

The role of fatty acid transport protein 1 (FATP1) and FATP4 in facilitating adipocyte fatty acid metabolism was investigated using stable FATP1 or FATP4 knockdown (kd) 3T3-L1 cell lines derived from retrovirus-delivered short hairpin RNA (shRNA).
