In both human diabetes patients and their cultured myotubes, increases in muscle SCD1 expression were correlated with abnormal lipid metabolism ( Hulver et al., 2005 ), highlighting the complex potential effects...

...) depending on fasting duration, suggesting that the effects of glucose on lipid metabolism are altered. However, elucidation of the lipolytic mechanisms including lipase activity during prolonged fasting in mammals is scarce. To assess the impact of fasting and glucose on the regulation of lipid metabolism...

The present review primarily focuses on five prominent areas of recent research on pathway microevolution: lipid metabolism and life...

Studies with birds, reptiles and insects have described lipid metabolism in adults and in eggs, but no studies have addressed how lipids are distributed in developing organs in the embryo. Here we show that maternal fatty acid and phospholipids segregate differently...
