Fatty acid biosynthesis is an energy-intensive biosynthetic pathway, and the production of the building blocks for membrane phospholipids is precisely regulated to match the rate of cell division.

We may not have understood the full potential of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids yet as new research by the University of ...

One of the most obvious features of a cell is the fatty membrane that demarcates a boundary ... including a group of ...

This study highlights the relationship between polyunsaturated fatty acids and cancer risk, suggesting blood biomarkers may be key for accurate assessment.

"We found a decrease in the content related to saturated fatty acids in the hepatic mitochondrial membranes of animals that had done physical activity. This suggests that membrane fluidity increases ...

Glucose transport is mediated by a protein called glucose transporter 1 (GLUT-1) that actively transports glucose across the cell membrane of ... or ketones and free fatty acids as their primary ...

Because of their abundance of reactive hydrogens, polyunsaturated fatty acids are highly susceptible to lipid peroxidation, which compromises the integrity and function of the cell membrane in ...
