Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Triacylglycerols are the form in which fat energy is stored in adipose tissue.
Detailed explanation-2: -Once in circulation, triacylglycerol is hydrolyzed before crossing the plasma membrane of peripheral cells. The primary enzyme that hydrolyzes triacylglycerol in plasma is lipoprotein lipase. Lipoprotein lipase hydrolyzes triacylglycerol into free fatty acids and 2-monoacylglycerol.
Detailed explanation-3: -Triacylglycerol is stored in lipid droplets, which also contain lipid droplet proteins, including perilipin 1, adipophilin/adipocyte differentiation-related protein, tail-interacting protein of 47 kDa and fat-specific protein of 27 kDa (FSP27)/Cidec [24–27].
