TLDR
Current views of lipolysis are summarized and the relevance of this process to human disease is highlighted and the molecule that moves lipoprotein lipase from the interstitial spaces to the capillary lumen is highlighted.Abstract:
All organisms use fatty acids (FAs) for energy substrates and as precursors for membrane and signaling lipids. The most efficient way to transport and store FAs is in the form of triglycerides (TGs); however, TGs are not capable of traversing biological membranes and therefore need to be cleaved by TG hydrolases ("lipases") before moving in or out of cells. This biochemical process is generally called "lipolysis." Intravascular lipolysis degrades lipoprotein-associated TGs to FAs for their subsequent uptake by parenchymal cells, whereas intracellular lipolysis generates FAs and glycerol for their release (in the case of white adipose tissue) or use by cells (in the case of other tissues). Although the importance of lipolysis has been recognized for decades, many of the key proteins involved in lipolysis have been uncovered only recently. Important new developments include the discovery of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored high-density lipoprotein-binding protein 1 (GPIHBP1), the molecule that moves lipoprotein lipase from the interstitial spaces to the capillary lumen, and the discovery of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) and comparative gene identification-58 (CGI-58) as crucial molecules in the hydrolysis of TGs within cells. This review summarizes current views of lipolysis and highlights the relevance of this process to human disease.read more

What We Talk About When We Talk About Fat
TL;DR: New perspective is gained on the roles played by adipocyte in a variety of homeostatic processes and on the mechanisms used by adipocytes to communicate with other tissues and how these relationships are altered during metabolic disease and how they might be manipulated to restore metabolic health.

Energy metabolism in the liver
TL;DR: The liver is an essential metabolic organ, and its metabolic function is controlled by insulin and other metabolic hormones, so controlling liver energy metabolism is tightly regulated by neuronal and hormonal signals.

The biophysics and cell biology of lipid droplets
TL;DR: The regulation of the composition of the phospholipid surfactants at the surface of lipid droplets is crucial for lipid droplet homeostasis and protein targeting to their surfaces.

TL;DR: An antioxidant role for lipid droplets is revealed that could be relevant in many different biological contexts and involves diverting PUFAs, including diet-derived linoleic acid, away from membranes to the core of lipid Droplets, where they are less vulnerable to peroxidation.

Physiological regulation of lipoprotein lipase.
TL;DR: It is now evident that most of the physiological variation in LPL activity, such as during fasting and exercise, appears to be driven via post-translational mechanisms by extracellular proteins.

TL;DR: Brown adipose tissue may be metabolically important in men, and the fact that it is reduced yet present in most overweight or obese subjects may make it a target for the treatment of obesity.
