Fatty acid specificity of hormone-sensitive lipase: implication in the selective hydrolysis of triacylglycerols

The selective mobilization of fatty acids from white fat cells depends on their molecular structure, in particular the degree of unsaturation. The present study was designed to examine if the release of fatty acids by hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) in vitro i) is influenced by the amount of unsatura...
