[edit] Lipolysis?
Isn't this the same thing? Can that article be turned into a redirect without loss of information? - Taxman 19:38, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)
Yes it should, it would go in the section "release from adipose tissue". By the way, great article. Only regulation is still mainly missing. --Eleassar777

Hey, we found different energy yield values in the same article under metabolism and oxidation... which one is right now???

[edit] last hydration heading addled
The link in this paragraph is confused. I can't quite make out what was intended, so haven't touched it. Someone should fix the link or rephrase the sentence ot make sense. 71.247.246.63 00:37, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] No ketones/ketone bodies = no fat metabolism?
Can one say that when there are no ketones or ketone bodies detectable in urine, then there definitely does no breakdown of fat from fat cells happen? --Abdull 17:24, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Numbers in chemical equations have been changed
In this revision: 03:58, 25 November 2006 the anonymous user 69.174.67.211 has changed the numbers in some chemical equations. I have no idea which version is correct. Could someone who knows please check? Thanks. --Coppertwig 14:09, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
In this revision: 01:17, 5 December 2006 the anonymous user 152.2.36.96 has changed the number of ATP in an oxydation cycle. I have no idea which version is correct. Could someone who knows please check? Thanks. --Coppertwig 04:51, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
I rewrote the energy yield from beta-oxidation so it is now correct. I'm not sure where those numbers they had were coming from, but I just finished studying lipids in biochem for pharmacy school and double-checked with a text, so these numbers are definitely correct. Could someone please clean up the formatting though? I can't figure out why it looks screwed up. Thanks
[edit] What about Fatty Acid Synthase?
Nothing is said about the biosynthesis enzyme, fatty acid synthase. The author only talks about ACP, but without saying what this term means. The Fatty Acid Synthase and the Acyl Carrier Protein are so amazing that someone must talk about them.
