Phosphatidate phosphatase (PAP) enzymes play a pivotal role in lipid metabolism, acting as a control point that directs metabolic flux between membrane phospholipid synthesis and the production of ...

A recent study by the University of Bonn and University Hospital Bonn and the University of Freiburg shows that the mitochondria appear to be able to influence the number of lipid droplets in the cell ...

The liver plays a central role in maintaining systemic energy homeostasis during fasting by mobilizing lipid reserves, a process often accompanied by transient hepatic steatosis. Dimethylarginine ...

The raw material for de novo fatty acid synthesis is acetyl-CoA, which can be obtained via the citrate shuttle pathway or from acetic acid. ACC and FASN catalyze the conversion of acetyl-CoA into ...

A new tool enables biomedical researchers from around the world to quickly see the connections between lipids and proteins inside cells, thanks to a new initiative led by scientists at Oregon Health & ...

A diagnosis of serious liver disease can feel like a slow countdown. Scar tissue builds quietly, the liver stiffens, and the ...

A large study found up to an 18% reduction in LDL cholesterol and improved atherosclerosis markers. Could an enzyme in a ...
