In a recent study, it has been shown that biosynthesis of triacylglycerol (TAG) in the oleaginous green alga Chlorella desiccata is preceded by a large increase in acetyl-coenzyme A (Ac-CoA) levels ...

A study from Van Andel Institute reveals that immune cells use two pathways, ACLY and ACSS2, to produce acetyl-CoA, an essential metabolite for fighting infection and cancer. These findings highlight ...

Chemical engineering researchers have created a new synthetic metabolic pathway for breaking down glucose that could lead to a 50 percent increase in the production of biofuels. UCLA chemical ...

Lipogenesis is the process involving the synthesis of fatty acids or triglycerides, which is controlled and regulated by a number of factors in the body. The process is stimulated by a diet high in ...
