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 ...
Obesity is a global epidemic and a major cause of morbidity and mortality because it increases the risk for comorbidities, ...
In a recent study published in Nutrients, scientists provide a detailed overview on age-related alterations in lipid metabolism and its association with age-related chronic diseases. Study: The Roles ...
Researchers have identified a previously unknown step in the process by which dietary cholesterol is absorbed from the intestine into the bloodstream. The newfound pathway provides a potential new ...
Researchers from the University of Leicester, working with international collaborators, have unraveled a key mechanism by which dietary cholesterol is absorbed into cells. This discovery, published in ...
New research suggests that decreased activity of ELOVL2 -- a key enzyme in lipid metabolism -- accelerates white blood cell aging and alters genes associated with the onset of blood cancers. Our ...
