Effect of substrates on the cyclic AMP-dependent lipolytic reaction of hormone-sensitive lipase.
Cyclic AMP-dependent activation of hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) stimulated lipolysis of [3H]triolein emulsified with gum arabic, but not that of endogenous lipid droplets from rat fat cells.

Lipid droplets (LDs) are universal cellular organelles that specialize in the storage of neutral lipids, such as sterol esters and triacylglycerols (see Essay by Farese and Walther, this issue). As such, they provide the main cellular reservoir for lipids of energy storage and membrane synthesis, and they protect cells from the lipotoxic effects of ...

Perilipin is located on the surface layer of intracellular lipid droplets in adipocytes.
Immunocytochemistry was used to determine the intracellular location of perilipins in adipocytes and the occurrence of these proteins in tissues involved in triacylglycerol metabolism.

Microsomal Triglyceride Transfer Protein (MTP) Associates with Cytosolic Lipid Droplets in 3T3-L1 Adipocytes. [PDF]
Lipid droplets are intracellular energy storage organelles composed of a hydrophobic core of neutral lipid, surrounded by a monolayer of phospholipid and a diverse array of proteins.

Optimizing adipogenic transdifferentiation of bovine mesenchymal stem cells: a prominent role of ascorbic acid in FABP4 induction [PDF]
Adipocyte differentiation of bovine adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) was induced by foetal bovine serum (FBS), biotin, pantothenic acid, insulin, rosiglitazone, dexamethasone and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, followed by incubation in different media to ...

Mammalian lipid droplets are innate immune hubs integrating cell metabolism and host defense
Cells drop a bomb on pathogens Lipid droplets (LDs) accumulate in cells to serve as lipid storage organelles. They are also an attractive source of nutrients for many pathogens. Bosch et al.

Lipid droplets as endogenous intracellular microlenses
Using a single biological element as a photonic component with well-defined features has become a new intriguing paradigm in biophotonics. Here we show that endogenous lipid droplets in the mature adipose cells can behave as fully biocompatible ...
