Intra-embryonic LD-glycogen conversion: FA, a TAG breakdown product within LDs, will be involved in gluconeogenesis to generate glycogen, which is biogenic to LDs during embryonic development. Green I: Gluconeogenesis. Red II: Biogenesis of LDs from glycogen. Abbreviations: LD, lipid droplet; FA, fatty acid; TAG, triacylglycerol; Glu, glucose; GLUT, glucose transporter; Gn, glycogen; ER, endoplasmic reticulum; TCA, tricarboxylic acid cycle; β-Ox, β-oxidation; ATP, adenosine triphosphate LIP1; lipase 1
