Tridecanoic acid (C13) is a rare, odd-chain saturated fatty acid produced mainly by gut and rumen microbes, entering ...

The study showed that the fatty acid (FA) gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) maternal milk binds to the retinoid X receptor (RXR) found on the heart cells—cardiomyocytes—triggering maturation of the ...

Interaction of glucose and fatty acid metabolism in muscle. UCP, uncoupling protein; FA, fatty acids. Note that in this model, emphasis is placed on ACC2, the predominant form in muscle.

The palmitic acid structure contains a 16-carbon backbone. ... As the first fatty acid to be produced during initial fatty acid synthesis, ... These disorders are called inborn errors of metabolism.

You may have heard of metabolism; it’s about health. It is a key cellular process required for life and growth. Metabolism ...

Fatty acids, lipids, and fats in our food may sound undesirable, but they are foundational to human life and to the plants we consume. Their interaction with certain proteins helps regulate plant ...

Fatty acids are stabilized during synthesis by acyl carrier proteins (ACPs ), found throughout all branches of life, which support and elongate the growing FA chains. A recent study, by Zhenzhen Zhao ...

Taken together, abnormal fatty acid metabolism underlies the pathophysiology of the sleep disorders. Furthermore, CPT1 activity could be a potential biomarker for screening certain sleep disorders ...
