| Description: Mammals hydrolyze and resynthesize TG in a glycerolipid/free fatty acid (GL/FFA) cycle. FFA are released from TG by lipases acting on lipid droplets. ATGL, adipose triglyceride lipase; HSL, hormone-sensitive lipase; MGL, monoacylglycerol lipase. Some of the FFAs are released into the blood for transport and oxidation, but ~75% are re-esterified back to TG. ATP hydrolysis in this futile cycle is shown in red.
