Fatty acids are the building blocks of the fat in our bodies and in the food we eat. During digestion, the body breaks down fats into fatty acids, which can then be absorbed into the blood. Fatty acid ...

In a mechanical injury test conducted in adult fish, both heterozygotes and homozygotes bled more extensively than wild-type fish. Researchers have successfully developed a zebrafish model of ...

Fatty acids are organic acids with at least one carboxyl (-C(=O)OH, -COOH or -CO2H) group and a long carbon chain that can be joined by double bonds, as in unsaturated fatty acids, or single bonds ...

They serve as an energy source for maintenance, milk production, body weight gain and performance. Fats can be defined as compounds that have a high content of long-chain fatty acids (FA) including ...

This study focuses on the role of a T-cell-specific receptor, ctla-4, in a new zebrafish model of IBD-like phenotype. Although implicated in IBD diseases, the function of ctla-4 has been hard to study ...

They looked at the ability of omega-6 fatty acids—particularly linoleic acid, the dominant one in the Western diet—to drive an important, nutrient-sensing growth pathway called the mTORC1 pathway.

We have previously demonstrated the anti-steatotic, -fibrotic, and -inflammatory properties of SEFA-6179, an engineered medium-chain fatty acid analogue. We hypothesized that SEFA-6179 treatment would ...

"Unraveling the Role of Ctla-4 in Intestinal Immune Homeostasis: Insights from a novel Zebrafish Model of Inflammatory Bowel Disease" generates a 14bp deletion/early stop codon mutation that is viable ...

It's not the same as alpha-linolenic acid, a heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acid found in nuts and seeds. How much alpha-lipoic acid should you take a day? There are no official alpha-lipoic acid ...

Linoleic acid, an omega ... the polyunsaturated fatty acid forms a complex with FABP5, which is produced at high levels in triple-negative breast tumors but not in other subtypes, leading to the ...

The purpose of the present study is to analyze one parameter of lipid metabolism in obesity — namely, the concentration of plasma free fatty acid (FFA = nonesterified fatty acid = NEFA).
