I'm not sure what to put on this page, but someone with more knowledge on the subject (and a better writing capacity) may wish to mention something. 67.175.235.76 (talk) 20:30, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the relation to fat to the intro. --Kubanczyk (talk) 23:08, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Vote: No: In my opinion they should stay seperate articles since fatty acid synthesis is a topic big enough to get it's article. Instead of the merging there should be a section in the Lipogenesis article that briefly explains the synthesis of fatty acids and provides a link to the main article.

Vote: No: I agree with the above poster as there is more then enough information on FAS but there should be a link to Fatty Acid syntase because obviously this is key, There needs to be much more information included in the FAS page and then you will see how it really belongs on its own page.

I tried to understand what this section was saying and it was quite dense. From what I understood of it, the section isn't very relevant to the topic. In fact the whole section is the copy-pasted abstract of a 1963 article in the Journal of Lipid Research. (http://www.jlr.org/content/4/3/312.abstract) This doesn't add anything of value to the article. It was inserted by someone in India (according to a Whois search) nearly 2 years ago. I suggest it be removed or at least completely rewritten to be relevant to the topic. I'll work on this soon (meaning between classes) if no one objects. (I'll at least add the citation to the section.) Falconerd (talk) 03:41, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the comment above about the Fatty Acid Esterification section, it is just a copy of the abstract of the article cited. This would definitely need some rework, there maybe some useful information relevant to the topic but that would require going through the article. A majority of the section would also need articles to support the statements being made. Majumak (talk) 19:47, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Lipogenesis. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20071221033717/http://www.elmhurst.edu/~chm/vchembook/623acetylCoAfate.html to http://www.elmhurst.edu/~chm/vchembook/623acetylCoAfate.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

This message was posted before February 2018.

• If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.
• If you found an error with any archives or the URLs themselves, you can fix them with this tool.

Cheers.—InternetArchiveBot (Report bug) 16:12, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I believe we agree that Lipogenesis is something more than fatty acid synthesis. It is not a synonym of fatty acid synthesis. Otherwise, a separate article would not be necessary. It encompasses two processes:

• fatty acid synthesis
• triglyceride synthesis (esterification of fatty acids)

The first process is discussed in detail in a separate article. It should be only summarized here. On the contrary, I can't find a main article in which the second process is discussed in detail. Perhaps, it should be discussed here...

In this article, however, the section about triglyceride synthesis is just an incomplete summary, while the section about fatty acid synthesis is too detailed.

Topic: lipogenesis. It is the conversion of triacylglycerol into fats which is stored in the adipose tissues 41.222.75.82 (talk) 13:40, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
