Lipid Metabolism Pathways

Molecular classification
Metabolic Pathway
01

Overview

Lipid metabolism pathways encompass the biochemical processes involved in the synthesis, breakdown, transport, and utilization of lipids. Key processes include digestion, absorption, transport, storage, mobilization, and catabolism (lipolysis and β-oxidation), as well as anabolism (fatty acid synthesis). These pathways are regulated by hormones like insulin and glucagon and dysregulation can lead to various metabolic disorders.
