Scientists and health professionals met recently in London on 14th September to discover more about the new and emerging health benefits of unsaturated fatty acids. The conference marks the launch of ...

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 ...

Diets rich in mono-unsaturated fats from plants may lower the risk of death from heart disease and other causes. The largest reductions in the risk of death were found when healthy fats from plant ...

Trans-fatty acids (TFA) are a major cause of cardiovascular diseases. These harmful fats can accumulate along artery walls, restricting blood flow and increasing the risk of heart attacks. According ...

Considerable interest has been shown in the potential anti-inflammatory effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in multiple sclerosis (MS) and other autoimmune inflammatory disorders. Studies ...

Incubation of Schistosoma mansoni lung-stage larvae in 90% corn oil for 6 hr was shown to elicit exposure of their, otherwise masked, apical membrane antigens to binding of anti-schistosome antibodies ...

Researchers examined over 1,000 foods and gave each a nutritional rating, with almonds scoring 97 out of 100 to top the list ...
