Lipid Metabolism Reprogramming

Meaning

Lipid metabolism reprogramming is a clinical and physiological process that involves fundamentally shifting the body’s preference and efficiency in how it processes, stores, and utilizes fatty acids and cholesterol for energy and structural purposes. This concept goes beyond simple fat burning to imply a durable, adaptive change in the expression of key metabolic enzymes and transcription factors that govern lipid handling. Successful reprogramming aims to enhance mitochondrial fat oxidation, reduce ectopic fat deposition, and improve systemic insulin sensitivity. This deep metabolic shift is a primary goal in treating chronic metabolic disorders and promoting longevity.
