Lipolysis Activation

Meaning

Lipolysis activation is the physiological process involving the enzymatic breakdown, or hydrolysis, of stored triglycerides within adipose tissue into their constituent components: free fatty acids and glycerol. This process is critically regulated by hormonal signals and is essential for mobilizing energy reserves to meet the body’s metabolic demands, particularly during periods of fasting or sustained physical activity. Clinical assessment of lipolysis is relevant to understanding metabolic flexibility and body composition regulation.
