Difference between Adipocyte and Lipid

Adipocyte vs. Lipid

Adipocytes, also known as lipocytes and fat cells, are the cells that primarily compose adipose tissue, specialized in storing energy as fat. In biology and biochemistry, a lipid is a biomolecule that is soluble in nonpolar solvents.

Similarities between Adipocyte and Lipid

Adipocyte and Lipid have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Adipose tissue, Androgen, Estrogen, Fat, Fatty acid synthesis, Lipid, Mitochondrion, Triglyceride.

Adipose tissue

In biology, adipose tissue, body fat, or simply fat is a loose connective tissue composed mostly of adipocytes.

Androgen

An androgen (from Greek andr-, the stem of the word meaning "man") is any natural or synthetic steroid hormone which regulates the development and maintenance of male characteristics in vertebrates by binding to androgen receptors.

Fatty acid synthesis

Fatty acid synthesis is the creation of fatty acids from acetyl-CoA and NADPH through the action of enzymes called fatty acid synthases.

Triglyceride

A triglyceride (TG, triacylglycerol, TAG, or triacylglyceride) is an ester derived from glycerol and three fatty acids (from tri- and glyceride).

Adipocyte and Lipid Comparison

Adipocyte has 39 relations, while Lipid has 241. As they have in common 8, the Jaccard index is 2.86% = 8 / (39 + 241).
