Mobilization of adipose cell triacylglycerols by lipolysis

Description
Three lipases act sequentially to hydrolyze TG to glycerol and FFA.

These enzymes act at the oil–water interface of the lipid droplet.

FFA are exported to the blood plasma, where they are bound to albumin for transport to liver and other tissues for subsequent oxidation.

Glycerol is released to the blood to be taken up by liver cells, where it serves as a gluconeogenic substrate.
