Lipid Metabolism Regulation

Meaning

Lipid metabolism regulation is the intricate, systemic process by which the body controls the synthesis, transport, storage, and breakdown of fats, including triglycerides, cholesterol, and phospholipids. This highly coordinated process is crucial for maintaining cellular membrane integrity, energy homeostasis, and the production of steroid hormones. Dysregulation of this system is a primary driver of cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome, making its optimization a clinical priority.
