Chapter 14.2, Problem 2QQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To identify the type of reaction that triacylglycerol molecules undergo in the triacylglycerol mobilization.

Concept introduction: Triacylglycerols are lipid molecules which constitute around 98% of the total dietary lipids. These lipid molecules are breakdown into simpler forms in the digestive system and are later absorbed into the bloodstream.

Triacylglycerol mobilization is an ongoing process in which triacylglycerols that are stored in the adipose tissue are hydrolyzed and are released into the bloodstream of the fatty acids and glycerol so produced. In the overall process of triacylglycerol metabolization, body’s triacylglycerol energy reserves are tapped for energy.

Hormones are the special chemical messengers that are produced by glands in the living organisms. Hormones are responsible for the regulation of psychological activities and behavioral activities, such as metabolism, sleep, growth, and development.
