Lipoxygenases constitute a family of non-heme iron or manganese-dependent enzymes that catalyse the regio- and stereospecific dioxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to yield hydroperoxy ...

Consumption of ultra-processed food (UPF) results in a distinct metabolic "signature" in the blood, associated with ...

Researchers have found a significant link between the levels of specific dihydroxy fatty acids in umbilical cord blood and ASD symptoms. Their findings highlight the role of these metabolites in the ...

Aerobic exercise and a high capacity for exercise may protect against metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), also known as fatty liver disease, by increasing the conversion ...

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 ...

Words matter in national dietary guidance—especially technical ones. In the 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, readers are urged to prioritize oils “with essential fatty acids,” with olive ...

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 ...

In a recent study published in the Cell, a group of researchers investigated oleic acid (OA) as a potential treatment to inhibit Lactobacillus iners (L. iners) and promote Lactobacillus crispatus (L.
