Lipid Metabolism
Triacylglycerol is broken down into glycerol and fatty acids.  Glycerol enters glycolysis to produce ATP.  The fatty acids are broken down by ó-oxidation into acetyl-CoA, which enters the citric acid cycle to produce ATP.  Acetyl-CoA can also be used to produce ketone bodies (ketogenesis).  Lipogenesis is the production of lipids.  Glucose is converted to glycerol, and amino acids are converted to acetyl-CoA molecules.  Acetyl-CoA molecules can combine to form fatty acids.  Glycerol and fatty acids join to form triacylglycerols.
