Combining omega-3 supplementation with resistance training significantly improved lipid profiles, inflammation markers, ...

Fatty acid synthesis in bacteria is achieved by a highly conserved set of genes in which each gene encodes an individual step in the type II fatty acid biosynthetic pathway (Fig. 1).

In this study, a novel two-step enzymatic reaction was developed for the synthesis of highly pure triacylglycerols (TAGs) with a high content of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Glyceride ...

Since α-linolenic acid is produced by FAD2 (Li et al., 2003) and PLA2 from phosphatidylcholine (Figure 7), the metabolic flux of α-linoleic acid might represent the gateway to the biosynthesis of a ...

SiADIPOQ inhibited fatty acid oxidation, but stimulated fatty acid synthesis and transport. Furthermore, ALA promoted the up-regulation of ADIPOQ, AMPK, p-AMPK and CPT-1 protein levels. It was ...
