Lipids may be regarded as organic substances relatively insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvents (alcohol, ether, etc.), actually or potentially related to fatty acids, and utilized by living cells. … Read more
Carbohydrate metabolism disorders are metabolic abnormalities that impact the anabolism and catabolism of carbohydrates. Most of these illnesses are caused by an inability to use carbohydrate metabolites efficiently. They are … Read more
Lipoproteins are complex biological particles composed of a core of triglycerides and cholesterol esters, surrounded by a shell of free cholesterol, phospholipids, and apolipoproteins. Structure of Lipoproteins Classification of Lipoproteins … Read more
What are Ketone Bodies? Ketone bodies are water-soluble compounds with ketone groups that are synthesized in the liver using fatty acids in a process known as ketogenesis. Acetoacetate (AcAc) β … Read more
The metabolic pathway through which fatty acids are esterified to a backbone of glycerol to produce triacylglycerols, which is the major storage form of lipids, is known as triglyceride biosynthesis. … Read more
Site and Significance of Cholesterol Biosynthesis The Pathway Breakdown: From Acetyl-CoA to Cholesterol The synthesis of cholesterol may be learnt in 5 stages 1. Formation of HMG-CoA: The Initial Condensation … Read more
Bile acids are specific and quantitatively important organic components of bile, which are synthesized by hepatocytes from cholesterol. The bile acids are amphipathic in nature since they possess both polar … Read more
The bile salts are amphipathic steroid-based molecules that are synthesized in the liver using cholesterol; they are the conjugated (glycine/taurine) bile acid products. Biosynthesis starts in hepatocytes through the classical … Read more
Carbohydrates and saccharides can simply be defined as polyhydroxy aldehyde or ketones and their derivatives. These are important sources of energy for living organisms as well as a means by … Read more
Minor pathways of carbohydrate metabolism are alternative, quantitatively smaller oxidative routes of glucose that operate alongside glycolysis and the TCA cycle. Their primary function is not ATP generation, but the … Read more
