Can eating fat be good for us? Some fatty acid molecules actually play a crucial role in maintaining our health and cellular functions. By the early twentieth century, scientists and doctors widely ...

While C13 fatty acid remains elusive in human plasma, new findings reveal its microbial origins, unique metabolic pathways, and potential as a biomarker for understanding how diet and the gut ...

Scientists at UC Irvine have found a way to potentially reverse age-related vision loss by targeting the ELOVL2 “aging gene” and restoring vital fatty acids in the retina. Their experiments in mice ...

Researchers at the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at UCLA and the National Institutes of Health have developed a zebrafish model that provides new insight ...

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are an important class of biologically active substances produced in the gut, specifically by the action of gut bacteria on plant-derived foods containing fiber that is ...
