Glycerol esterification is a chemical process where glycerol reacts with acetic acid to form various acetylated glycerols, commonly known as acetins. These compounds, including monoacetin ...

Fats are lipid small molecules generated by esterification between fatty acids and glycerol to generate a triglyceride. Fats are soluble in organic solvents, but insoluble in water. They can be ...

Glycerol kinase promotes re-esterification of glycerol and accelerates triglyceride accumulation in adipocytes. AQP7-null mice develop obesity and diabetes accompanied by adipocyte hypertrophy ...
