Fats that are liquid at room temperature are often referred to as oil.
All other vegetable fats, such as those coming from olive, peanut, maize (corn oil), cottonseed, sunflower, safflower, and soybean, are predominantly unsaturated and remain liquid at room temperature.
Fat is one of the three main classes of food and, at approximately 38 kJ (9 Cal) per gram, as compared to sugar with 17 kJ (4 Cal) per gram or ethanol with 29 kJ (7 Cal) per gram, the most concentrated form of metabolic energy available to humans.

 Catabolism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Fat catabolism, also known as lipid catabolism, is the process of lipids or phospholips being broken down by lipases.
The opposite of this is fat anabolism which involves the storage of energy, and the building of cell walls.
Protein catabolism is the breakdown of proteins into amino acids and simple derivative compounds, for transport into the cell through the plasma membrane and ultimately for the polymerisation into new proteins via the use of ribonucleic acids (RNA) and ribosomes.

 Fat
Fats are produced by organic processes in animal s and plant s.
Most fats are composed primarily of triglyceride s; some monoglycerides and diglycerides are mixed in, produced by incomplete ester ification.
Fats are sources of essential fatty acid s, an important dietary requirement.

 Diabetes
Prolonged hyperglycemia (excess blood glucose) leads to increased protein and fat catabolism, a condition that can cause premature vascular degeneration and atherosclerosis (see arteriosclerosis).
Transplantation of islet cells has also proved successful since 1999, after new transplant procedures were developed, but the number of pancreases available for extraction of the islet cells is far smaller than the number of Type I diabetics.
Diabetes affects the way the body handles fats, leading to fat accumulation in the arteries and potential damage to the kidneys, eyes, heart, and brain, and statins (cholesterol-lowering drugs) may be prescribed to prevent heart disease.

Current research has revealed that very small amounts of manganese are required for bone and cartilage formation, protein and fat metabolism, healthy nerve transmission, the regulation of blood sugar, and proper immune function.
This energy production process requires the mitochondria to remove electrons from fats and other molecules, and pass these electrons along a complex chain of molecules called the electron transport chain.
The step-by-step passage of electrons down the chain allows the mitochondria simultaneously to draw a molecule called ADP (adenosine diphosphate) into the mitochondrial space, and to attach a third atom of phosphorus onto the ADP molecule, resulting in the creation of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
