How are algae lipid synthesis pathways regulated?

In this review, we discuss lipid biosynthesis and regulation in plants and algae; the state of genetic manipulation in plants to modify lipid biosynthesis; and the possible impacts of manipulation on biodiesel production from algae and future studies. read more

The NEFA might activate the AMP-Activated Protein Kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway in bovine hepatocytes to trigger lipid metabolism-related enzymes, e.g. up-regulation of ACSL and CPT1, and down-regulation of ACC1 (inhibition of fatty acid synthesis) as a global mechanism favoring fatty acid oxidation [11]. read more
