Impaired lipid metabolism with excess release of FA from adipose tissue leads to overspill of circulating lipids and thus to ectopic nonadipose lipid accumulation in the
liver hepatocellular lipids (HCL), muscle intramyocellular lipids (IMCL), and myocard myocardial lipids (MYCL) with detrimental consequences of lipotoxicity.
