Schematic of the simplified A) complete hydrolysis of triacylglycerols and subsequent re-esterification, and B) the proposed partial hydrolysis of triglycerides and subsequent re-esterification of monoacylglycerols and diacylglycerols. Solid lines denote direct effects, dashed lines denote indirect effects. Short downward pointing arrows denote a decrease. Abbreviations: AMPK, AMP kinase; ATGL, adipose triglyceride lipase; BCAA, branched chain amino acids; DAG, diacylglycerol; DGAT, diglyceride acyltransferase; FA-CoA, fatty acyl-CoA; FFA, free fatty acid; G3P, glycerol-3-phosphate; HSL, hormone-sensitive lipase; MAG, monoacylglycerol; MGAT, monoglyceride acyltransferase; MGL, monoglyceride lipase; PEPCK-c, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase cytosolic; TAG, triacylglycerol; TCA, tricarboxylic acid
