Preferred Name	Lipid Droplets
Definitions	Lipid-containing organelles found in plant tissues. They primarily contain TRIGLYCERIDES bound by a phospholipid monolayer. Dynamic cytoplasmic organelles found in almost all cells. They consist of a central core of LIPIDS surrounded by a phospholipid monolayer studded with surface proteins, and are involved in LIPID METABOLISM and storage.
Synonyms	Adiposome Storage Bodies, Lipid Lipid Droplet Droplet, Lipid Lipid Body Spherosomes Lipid Bodies Oil Body Lipid Storage Bodies Storage Body, Lipid Droplets, Lipid Spherosome Oleosomes Lipid Storage Body Oleosome Adiposomes Oil Bodies See more See less
