Summary Introduction

To review:

The principle catabolic events associated with fatty acids and glycerol.

Introduction:

Lipid catabolism is the process, through which the energy-rich bonds of lipid molecules are broken down. This process releases the chemical energy of lipids and uses this energy to facilitate the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Lipid molecules undergo the process of lipolysis to release the glycerol and fatty-acid molecules. These related molecules are further metabolized in different pathways to finally yield ATP.
