rasvahiukkasista
Rasvahiukkaset, also known as fatty particles or lipid droplets, are microscopic structures found within cells that store lipids, primarily triglycerides. These droplets are dynamic and can vary in size and number depending on the cell type and its metabolic state. They play a crucial role in cellular energy homeostasis, acting as a readily available reserve of fatty acids that can be mobilized during periods of increased energy demand.
The formation and breakdown of rasvahiukkaset are tightly regulated processes. Lipids are taken up by the cell
These particles are particularly abundant in adipocytes, the cells that constitute adipose tissue, where they can
