Acylglycerol Recycling from Triacylglycerol to Phospholipid, Not Lipase Activity, Is Defective in Neutral Lipid Storage Disease Fibroblasts [PDF]
, 1996 Neutral lipid storage disease (NLSD) is an autosomal recessive disorder in which excess triacylglycerol (TG) accumulates in most cells. Although it has been hypothesized that the TG accumulation is caused by a functional defect in cytosolic lipase ...

Genetic Engineering of Lesquerella with Increased Ricinoleic Acid Content in Seed Oil [PDF]
, 2021 Seeds of castor (Ricinus communis) are enriched in oil with high levels of the industrially valuable fatty acid ricinoleic acid (18:1OH), but production of this plant is limited because of the cooccurrence of the ricin toxin in its seeds.
