Question

True or False.

ATGL is active in adipose tissue (breaking down TAGs-lipolysis) at some level all the time (fasted and fed).

Answer 1

True. Lipolysis is the process of breaking down stored triacylglycerols (TAGs) in adipose tissue to release fatty acids and glycerol. Lipolysis is regulated by hormones such as glucagon, growth hormone, adrenaline, noradrenaline, ACTH, and TSH.

Step-by-step explanation:

True. Lipolysis is the process of breaking down stored triacylglycerols (TAGs) in adipose tissue to release fatty acids and glycerol.

Lipolysis is regulated by hormones such as glucagon, growth hormone, adrenaline, noradrenaline, ACTH, and TSH. These hormones activate the enzyme hormone-sensitive lipase, which breaks down TAGs into glycerol and free fatty acids.
