Adipolysis
Definition
A biochemical and metabolic process of breakdown, hydrolysis, or degradation of lipids and triglycerides stored in adipose tissue, leading to the release of free fatty acids and glycerol into the bloodstream; this structural reaction is enzymatically regulated by lipases and stimulated hormonally by adrenaline, glucagon, or cortisol to meet the body's energy requirements during periods of exertion or fasting.
