Metabolism of Fatty Acids and Proteins

Metabolism of Fatty Acids and Proteins

by Kevin Ahern, PhD

Fatty acids function as the body's energy storage. They are created when energy is plentiful, and can be broken down to release large amounts of energy when primary fuel sources are running low. They play an important role in lipid membranes and aid in the digestion of many critical nutrients. This course will discuss their role in both macro- and microbiological systems.
