It is well-known that saturated fatty acids are detrimental to one's health, while unsaturated fatty acids are beneficial. Although most fatty acids in the body are stored in adipose tissue, the ...

Although most fatty acids in the body are stored in adipose tissue, the factors regulating the levels of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in adipose tissue had remained unclear.

Refined oils, including olive oil, even though unsaturated, generally have a higher ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids, making them potentially proinflammatory.

Saturated fats are often thought of as one type of fat, but there are multiple types, including short, long, medium, and very long-chain fatty acids, all of which have different effects on health.

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.

ARMC5 selectively degrades SCAP-free SREBF1 and is essential for fatty acid desaturation in adipocytes. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2024; 300 (12): 107953 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2024.107953 ...

Benson explains, “Similar to olive oil, avocado oil is also high in the unsaturated fatty acid called oleic acid, which provides a variety of health benefits.” ...

Pumpkin seeds are rich in nutrients known to support weight loss, such as fiber, protein, and unsaturated fatty acids. One 6-month study in 345 adults on a low calorie diet examined the effects of ...

Saturated free fatty acids and association with memory formation. Nature Communications, 2021; 12 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-23840-3 ...

In this study, however, it was revealed that ARMC5 strongly regulates the saturation level of fatty acids in adipocytes and serves as a factor that not only degrades SREBP, but also activates it." ...
