This podcast describes the underlying changes associated with insulin resistance and resulting in dyslipidemia. These changes include effects on two key lipases namely, Lipoprotein Lipase and Hormone-Sensitive Lipase. This biochemistry content may be useful to premedical and medical students.

This podcast covers the fifth unique liver function in its ability to detoxify organic molecules by making them more water soluble. This biochemistry content may be useful to premedical and medical students. Similar content is available at: MEDBIOCHEM.ORG

This podcast describes the role of the Urea cycle in detoxifying ammonia as the fifth unique function of the liver. This biochemistry content may be useful to premedical and medical students.Similar content is available at:MEDBIOCHEM.ORG

This podcast describes the unique ability of the liver to synthesize ketone bodies in the mitochondria from Acetyl CoA during fasting. The ketone bodies thus produced can provide an alternative energy source to multiple peripheral tissue including the brain, but excluding the liver.
