The primary activation of triacylglycerol mobilization in adipocytes is through __________ of the enzyme ____________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The primary activation of triacylglycerol mobilization in adipocytes is through phosphorylation of the enzyme hormone sensitive lipase. Perilipin is a protein that coats lipid droplets and is phosphorylated by protein kinase A (PKA) upon activation of the beta-adrenergic signaling pathway, which helps activate hormone-sensitive lipase. Adipose triglyceride lipase is also involved in lipolysis, but its activation is secondary to hormone-sensitive lipase. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

The Primary Activation of Triacylglycerol Mobilization in Adipocytes Is Through
