Carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT1 ) also known as carnitine acyltransferase I, CPTI , CAT1 , CoA:carnitine acyl transferase (CCAT) , or palmitoylCoA transferase I, is a mitochondrial enzyme responsible for the formation of acyl carnitines by...

Despite the high heterogeneity found among lipids, either in terms of their different classes (fatty acids, triglycerides, cholesterol, cholesterol esters and phospholipids), or even within each of these classes, there is a feature common to all...

Introduction Cholesterol is an extremely important biological molecule that has roles in membrane structure as well as being a precursor for the synthesis of the steroid hormones and bile acids . Both dietary cholesterol and that...

Lipids are large molecules and generally are not water-soluble. Like carbohydrates and protein, lipids are broken into small components for absorption. Since most of our digestive enzymes are water-based, how does the body break down fat...

The science of indirect manipulation of the genes of an organism by using some techniques such as molecular cloning & transformation to change the structure & nature of the genes is referred to as genetic engineering....

Well, the fate of pyruvate depend on two factor whether oxygen is present or not. In the presence of oxygen (aerobic condition) pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA by the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase which enters the TCA...
