Lipolytic Enzyme Expression

Meaning

Lipolytic Enzyme Expression refers to the cellular process of synthesizing and activating specific enzymes, such as hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL), that are responsible for the hydrolysis of triglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerol. This biological process is a critical determinant of fat metabolism, governing the mobilization of stored energy from adipose tissue for use by other organs, including muscle and liver. Optimized expression is vital for maintaining a healthy body composition, metabolic flexibility, and preventing ectopic fat accumulation in vital organs.
