Obesity is an important aspect of the metabolic syndrome and is often associated with
chronic inflammation. In this context, inflammation of organs participating in energy …

In mammals, excess energy is stored primarily as triglycerides, which are mobilized when
energy demands arise. This review mainly focuses on the role of long chain fatty acids …

In mammalian cells, elongases and desaturases play critical roles in regulating the length
and degree of unsaturation of fatty acids and thereby their functions and metabolic fates. In …

Sustained responses to transient environmental stimuli are important for survival. The
mechanisms underlying long-term adaptations to temporary shifts in abiotic factors remain …

Recent studies in humans and animal models have highlighted that modulation of stearoyl-
coenzyme A desaturase 1 activity by dietary intervention or genetic manipulation strongly …

Summary Stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD1), a critical regulator of energy metabolism,
catalyzes the synthesis of monounsaturated fats. To understand the tissue-specific role of …

The consumption of an olive oil rich diet has been associated with the diminished incidence
of cardiovascular disease and cancer. Several studies have attributed these beneficial …

Stearoyl‐CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) is an essential lipogenic enzyme that has been shown
to play an intrinsic role in the development of obesity and related conditions, such as insulin …

Different lipid fractions in humans have characteristic fatty acid profiles and these are
maintained partly through diet and to a lesser extent through endogenous synthesis. The …

Chia seeds contain the essential fatty acid, α-linolenic acid (ALA). This study has assessed
whether chia seeds attenuated the metabolic, cardiovascular and hepatic signs of a high …
