Hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) is an important enzyme in the process of lipolysis, which breaks down stored fats into free fatty acids and glycerol in fat cells. It helps release energy by acting on fats stored in the body, particularly during times when energy is needed, like fasting or exercise. HSL is activated by hormones such as adrenaline, which signal the body to start breaking down fat. This enzyme plays a vital role not only in providing energy but also in maintaining overall metabolic health, and it is involved in other processes like hormone production. Its proper function is crucial for energy balance and can impact conditions like obesity and diabetes.
