Question

When the body is deprived of food, which enzyme hydrolyzes triglycerides so that their parts enter general circulation and are available to other cells?

Answer 1

LPL Lipoprotein Lipase

Step-by-step explanation:

LPL is a ubiquitous enzyme that is found in the lumen of blood capillaries. It hydrolyzes the tracilglycerols of lipoproteins rich in triacylglycerols and breaks them down to free fatty acids and glycerol, releasing them into muscle and adipose tissue. It also allows the uptake of the resulting free fatty acids by the underlying tissues.
