Researchers at Osaka University identified a degradation factor for SREBP1 as essential for maintaining the balance of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in adipose tissue. This discovery may lead ...

Researchers have identified ARMC5 as a key regulator of fatty acid balance in adipose tissue. ARMC5 degrades non-SCAP-bound SREBP1, activating it to regulate stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD), an enzyme ...

Trans-fatty acids (TFA) are a major cause of cardiovascular diseases. These harmful fats can accumulate along artery walls, restricting blood flow and increasing the risk of heart attacks. According ...

The previous article described how fatty acids consist of long chains of carbon-carbon bonds, with the carbon mostly “saturated” with hydrogen atoms. When two saturated adjacent carbon atoms exchange ...

A new study by Toho University has revealed that gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a fatty acid commonly found in plant oils such as evening primrose and borage, can directly relax constricted coronary ...
