... function of pancreatic β-cells. Islets depleted of triacylglycerols are unresponsive to glucose [ 2 , 3 ]; this phenotype is reversed by adding exogenous NEFAs. Furthermore, glucose-responsiveness in fasted rats both in vivo and vitro is dependent on NEFAs [ 4 ], and similar findings have been made...

...F. Sun; M. Stolinski; F. Shojaee-Moradie; A.M. Umpleby Emerging evidence has shown that an abnormal postprandial accumulation of dietary fat is atherogenic. However, there is a lack of data describing the mechanisms for accumulation of triacylglycerol (TAG) in the postprandial period...

... hepatocytes in culture was investigated. CRLPs were incubated with cultured hepatocytes for 5 h. The medium was then removed and the secretion of cholesterol and triacylglycerol (TAG) into the whole medium during the following 16 h was determined. After exposure of the cells to olive oil as compared with corn...

... (triacylglycerols). TAGs are synthesized through two pathways governed by the acyl-CoA diacylglycerol acyltransferase Dga1p and the phospholipid diacylglycerol acyltransferase Lro1p. STEs are formed by two STE synthases Are1p and Are2p, two enzymes with overlapping function, which also catalyse TAG formation...

...S. Le Lay; P. Ferré; I. Dugail Adipose tissue is specialized in the storage of energy in the form of triacylglycerol. Within the fat cell, triacylglycerols are found in a well-defined structural compartment called the lipid droplet, which occupies the vast majority of the fat cell volume. However...
