[Lipid metabolism in obese school-age children. I. Comparative studies including children without excess weight]
Abstract:
The levels of total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides were assessed and HDL-cholesterol total cholesterol index was calculated in 40 children aged 7 to 17 years with 25-99% weight excess. The results have been compared with the control group of slim children at the same age. The elevated level of the total cholesterol was found in obese children. The cholesterol level was highest in children between 15 and 17 years and showed slight positive correlation with the degree of obesity (r = 0,317, p less than 0,001). Remaining differences in the parameters of metabolism of lipids in obese children have not been significant.

Lipolysis: The Breakdown of Lipids:
Lipolysis is the process of breaking down lipids, particularly triglycerides, into glycerol and fatty acids. This process typically occurs in the adipose tissue and is triggered by various hormones, including glucagon and...
