Five lipid metabolic pathways/processes will be covered in the following subsections:
6.31 Lipolysis (Triglyceride Breakdown)
-Breakdown of triglycerides to glycerol and free fatty acids.
6.32 Fatty Acid Oxidation (Beta-Oxidation)
-Breakdown of fatty acids to acetyl-CoA
6.33 De Novo Lipogenesis (Fatty Acid & Triglyceride Synthesis)
-Synthesis of fatty acids from acetyl-CoA and esterification into triglycerides
6.34 Ketogenesis (Ketone Body Synthesis)
-Synthesis of ketone bodies from acetyl-CoA
