Abstract
White adipose tissue is the major reservoir of energy in the body storing the excess of energy from diet as triacylglycerol. The amount of triacylgycerol stored in the adipose tissue depends on the balance between triacylglycerol synthesis and degradation denominated as lipogenesis and lipolysis, respectively. Lipolysis refers to sequential hydrolysis of triacylglycerol to diacylglycerol,…
