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 ...

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 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 ...

I often receive notes asking questions about dietary fats, like why is unsaturated fat healthier than saturated fat, and what is trans fat. Good questions, but to answer them I’ll have to first walk ...

The main difference between saturated and unsaturated fat is their form at room temperature and their impact on your health. Saturated fats typically come from animal sources, like red meat and dairy.

In dozens of short-term clinical trials published since 1970, researchers have found that the more saturated fats people ...

Research conducted at the Federal University of Pelotas (Brazil) investigated the formulation of oleogels based on Butia seed oil and their potential as a replacement for hydrogenated fats in cookies.
