No common energy currency: de novo lipogenesis as the road less traveled

Hellerstein discusses the role of de novo lipogenesis in energy production in animals. While scientists previously thought that animals used de novo lipogenesis as a metabolic safety valve for storage of carbohydrate energy present in excess of carbohydrate oxidative needs, recent research has faile...

Description
Summary:Hellerstein discusses the role of de novo lipogenesis in energy production in animals. While scientists previously thought that animals used de novo lipogenesis as a metabolic safety valve for storage of carbohydrate energy present in excess of carbohydrate oxidative needs, recent research has failed to prove this assumption correct.
