This study mapped how EPA and DHA are distributed across lipid classes in microalgae, fish, krill, and commercial omega-3 ...

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 ...

Omega-3 fatty acids (also referred to as n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids) in the diet come from two sources: marine (fish, krill and algae) and land plants. The marine omega-3 fatty acids, ...

A research team has discovered that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a major omega-3 fatty acid found in fish oil, directly relaxes smooth muscle in the male reproductive tract by blocking specific calcium ...

Undergraduate researchers study a protein that converts omega-6 fatty acids to omega-3 fatty acids, possibly reducing ...

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 ...
