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 ...

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 ...

A recent study by the University of Eastern Finland is the first to report that the fatty acid composition of blood and the enzyme activity associated with it predict the development of bone mineral ...

Nissui has filed a patent for a method of producing highly unsaturated fatty acids or ethyl esters with reduced levels of environmental pollutants. The method involves removing pollutants from a ...
