It thus remains unknown how glycerol transport evolved in the Holometabola. By combining phylogenetic and functional studies, here we show that a more efficient form of glycerol transporter ...

In this group of seven patients these functional tests appeared to distinguish ... of the rate of disposal of intravenously administered glycerol, an endogenous substrate for gluconeogenesis ...

Complete hydrolysis of triacylglycerols yields three fatty acids and a glycerol molecule. Non-hydrolyzable lipids lack such functional groups and include steroids and fat-soluble vitamins (A ...
