Lipolysis comes in the name of removing the fats by increasing the permeability of the membrane surrounding the fat cell wall. It is the process of removing the broken down fats and fatty acids from the body by transporting them to the liver through the circulation, kidney and metabolic pathway by the lymphatic system.
