With so many types of fats, and so much mixed messaging around them, it’s tough to know what to eat more or less of when ...

But not all saturated fat is equal. A fatty acid called C15:0 has been linked to health benefits such as lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, and fatty liver disease.

Saturated fatty acid levels increase when making memories Saturated fatty acids have emerged as key players in forming memories Date: June 28, 2021 Source: University of Queensland Summary ...

The team found that saturated fatty acids can block the STING pathway, which is induced by cytosolic DNA and promotes antigen-presenting cell maturation, by inducing a protein called NLRC3.

Saturated fatty acid chain length should be taken into consideration when assessing the impact on heart health, a new study suggests, indicating an opening for food marketers to differentiate the ...

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 ...

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." ...

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 ...

"This indicates that this PLA1 enzyme, and the fatty acids it releases, play a key role in memory acquisition." The research has important implications for understanding of how memories are formed.

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.

Saturated fatty acid levels unexpectedly rise in the brain during memory formation, according to research, opening a new avenue of investigation into how memories are made. "We tested the most ...
