Sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) play a crucial role in lipid biosynthesis. In a recent study, researchers identified a novel cleavage enzyme of SREBP-1c, a key player in fatty acid ...

ApoB: Apolipoprotein B-100; BL: Baseline (mg/dl); EOT: End of treatment (mg/dl); HDL-C: High-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C: Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; Median change (%): Median ...

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.

Fatty acids are necessary for the normal functioning of all systems in the body. People can only get essential fatty acids from food sources, while it can create nonessential fatty acids. There are ...

Scientists at UC Irvine have found a way to potentially reverse age-related vision loss by targeting the ELOVL2 “aging gene” and restoring vital fatty acids in the retina. Their experiments in mice ...

Schematic illustration showing the classification of lipid‐based nanocarriers (LBNCs) (including liposomes, micelles, nanoemulsions, SLNs/NLCs, LNPs, BLNs, SRLNCs) and their targeted delivery to ...

In pre-clinical models, high levels of lipids accelerated tumor growth in triple-negative breast cancer cells. Targeting blood lipids through medication or diet may help slow cancer progression, ...

In a recent study published in Cell Host & Microbe, researchers highlighted the role of lipids, especially bacteria-derived lipids in the gut microbiome, in mammalian physiology in the context of ...

Winter dryness is often mistaken for a surface problem, but dermatological research shows that damage begins much deeper ...
