Introduction Lipid metabolism is the synthesis and degradation of lipids in cells, involving the breakdown or storage of fats for energy and the synthesis of structural and functional lipids, such as those involved in the construction of cell membranes. In animals, these fats are obtained from food or are synthesized by the liver. Lipogenesis is …

Introduction You have just read about two pathways in cellular respiration—glycolysis and the citric acid cycle—that generate ATP. However, most of the ATP generated during the aerobic catabolism of glucose is not generated directly from these pathways. Rather, it is derived from a process that begins with moving electrons through a series of electron transporters …

Introduction to Protein Translation Translation Protein synthesis is completed by the process of protein translation. When the DNA molecule has transcribed a transcription, the messenger RNA is translated for protein synthesis. In the process of translation, messenger RNA works together with the transfer RNA i.e. (tRNA) and ribosome for the process of protein synthesis. The …

FATTY LIVER Fatty liver refers to the deposition of excess triglycerides in the liver cells. The normal concentration of lipids in liver is around 5%. Liver is not storage organ for fat. In the normal liver, Kupffer cells contain lipids in the form of droplets.  In fatty liver, droplets of triacylglycerols are found in the …
