EPFL scientists have identified a molecular pathway that protects cells from lipid oxidation and ferroptosis, a regulated ...

Lipid oxidation is a fundamental chemical process affecting both food quality and human health. This phenomenon, which involves the degradation of unsaturated fatty acids through radical chain ...

Age-related body odor is a natural result of skin lipid oxidation and slower cell renewal, not inadequate hygiene. Combining ...

The ways in which cells function are strongly dependent on cell membranes which enclose cellular compartments and separate the interiors of cells from the extracellular domain. Oxidative stress harms ...

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 ...

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the ability of the ...

Recent studies suggest that when neurons are overwhelmed by oxidative stress, they spew out toxic, peroxidated lipids. Glia then sail in to mop up the spill, containing the oils within intracellular ...

Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide, and the incidence of cancer is increasing every year. Lipids, including fatty acids, cholesterol, and phospholipids, play a major role in cancer ...

In a recent review published in Advances in Food and Nutrition Research, researchers assessed the function of lipids in metabolic diseases. Lipids play an essential role in the proper functioning of ...
