Osaka, Japan – Researchers at Osaka University identified a degradation factor for SREBP1 as essential for maintaining the balance of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in adipose tissue. This ...

By restoring natural bile acid balance through beneficial bacteria, this strategy could provide an alternative and more sustainable treatment option for UC patients. While further research is needed ...

The metabolism of uric acid is an essential facet of purine degradation, with significant implications for human health. In most mammals, uricase converts uric acid into allantoin, which is readily ...

Palmitic acid is a saturated long-chain fatty acid (LCFA), a term for fatty acids containing 13 to 21 carbons. Palmitic acid contains 16 carbons. This acid is found in most fats and oils, such as ...

Researchers have identified ARMC5 as a key regulator of fatty acid balance in adipose tissue. ARMC5 degrades non-SCAP-bound SREBP1, activating it to regulate stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD), an enzyme ...
