Ceramides are products of metabolism that accumulate in individuals with obesity or
dyslipidaemia and alter cellular processes in response to fuel surplus. Their actions, when …

Evidences in the last years have showed the effects of oleic acid (OA) in human health and
disease. Olive oil, rich in oleic acid, is supposed to present modulatory effects in a wide …

Ceramides contribute to the lipotoxicity that underlies diabetes, hepatic steatosis, and heart
disease. By genetically engineering mice, we deleted the enzyme dihydroceramide …

Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is an important risk factor for obesity-related metabolic
disorders. Therefore, a reduction in VAT has become a key goal in obesity management …

Long-chain fatty acids and lipids serve a wide variety of functions in mammalian
homeostasis, particularly in the formation and dynamic properties of biological membranes …

Types of Cell Culture Media Animal cells can be cultured either using a completely natural
medium or an artificial/synthetic medium along with some natural products. Natural Media …

Albumin has a long historical involvement in design of media for the successful culture of
mammalian cells, in both the research and commercial fields. The potential application of …

Membrane uptake of long-chain fatty acids (FAs) is the first step in cellular FA utilization and
a point of metabolic regulation. CD36 facilitates a major fraction of FA uptake by key tissues …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a serious comorbidity in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
(NAFLD). Since plasma ceramides are increased in NAFLD and sphingomyelin, a ceramide …

Ectopic lipids play a key role in numerous pathologies, including heart disease, stroke, and
diabetes. Of all the lipids studied, perhaps the most well understood is cholesterol, a widely …
