Preferred term

hormone sensitive lipase  

Definition

  • Hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) is the major enzyme that regulates the release of stored fatty acids from the fat tissue, a process known as lipolysis. This enzyme is important because it plays a role in providing energy to tissues and organs when food intake is low. [Source: Encyclopedia of Obesity; Hormone Sensitive Lipase]
