Defina about the Lipid Metabolism?

Animal studies consistently show a hypotriglyceridenlic effect although equivocal results have been seen with healthy humans. Hypotriglyceridemia is due to decreased VLDL concentrations. Animal studies show a decreased de novo lipogenesis in the liver due to reduced activity (almost 50%) of all lipogenic enzymes, possibly through modification of lipogenic enzyme gene expression. Inhibition is mainly attributable lo propionate. Limited studies show possible lowering of serum total and LDL cholesterol.
