Tridecanoic acid (C13) is a rare, odd-chain saturated fatty acid produced mainly by gut and rumen microbes, entering ...

A groundbreaking study reveals that neurons can burn fat, challenging the long-held belief that the brain relies solely on glucose for fuel.

In a groundbreaking study, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered that the brain can tap into fat droplets as ...

While glucose, or sugar, is a well-known fuel for the brain, Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have demonstrated that ...

Linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid found in everyday foods like nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils, has emerged as one of these unsung heroes in the fight against heart disease and diabetes.

The production of free fatty acids was carried out by hydrolysis of RFO using noncommercial lipases produced in the previous step. The production of lipase enzymes was favored at pH 2.0, with an oil ...

Hydrolysis of fats, namely, beef tallow, coconut oil, and peanut oil, using zinc oxide as the catalyst at a high temperature ranging from 225 to 280°C had been reported with the achievement of a 91.5% ...

Experiments showed that FASN was elevated in lung scar tissue from IPF patients, and its inhibition suppressed the activation of fibroblast cells, which are the main drivers of tissue scarring during ...

The cells were subsequently preincubated with 1 mL of the assay buffer containing 0.1% essentially fatty acid–free bovine serum albumin at 37°C for 20 minutes. The cells were then stimulated by ...
