Carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT-1) is a type of acyltransferase located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. It reversibly catalyzes the transfer of an acyl group from acyl-CoA to L-carnitine and plays a crucial role in transporting fatty acids across the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Free aliphatic acids (Free Fatty Acids, FFA) are both products of lipid hydrolysis and substrates for lipid synthesis. The concentration of FFA is associated with lipid metabolism, glucose metabolism, and endocrine function, and can also reflect quality changes during food storage.

Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) is a class of enzymes that catalyze the conversion of alcohols to aldehydes, accompanied by the reduction of NAD+ to NADH. In humans, there are 9 types of ADH isozymes, with most of the ADH activity occurring in the liver. Members of the ADH family are the main enzymes involved in alcohol detoxification; genetic variations in ADH enzymes lead to differences in ADH activity and alcohol tolerance, and may regulate the susceptibility to alcoholism.

Triglycerides (TG) are lipid molecules formed from long-chain fatty acids and glycerol. They are not only major components of cell membranes but also serve as important respiratory substrates.

Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) catalyzes the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA in organisms, and it is a key enzyme in the synthesis of fatty acids and many secondary metabolites. To a certain extent, the activity of ACC determines the synthesis rate of fatty acids and the level of oil content.

ATP-citrate lyase (ACL; EC 4.1.3.8) is a key enzyme in fatty acid synthesis. The acetyl-CoA produced by its catalysis can be used for fatty acid synthesis, carbon chain elongation, flavonoid synthesis, amino acid synthesis, etc.
