Tumors undergo metabolic transformations to sustain uncontrolled proliferation, avoid cell
death, and seed in secondary organs. An increased focus on cancer lipid metabolism has …

Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) are major components of complex lipid
molecules and are also involved in numerous critical biological processes. Studies …

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) play essential roles in cell membrane structure and
physiological processes including signal transduction, cellular metabolism and tissue …

Numerous studies have shown that epigenetic age—an individual's degree of aging based
on patterns of DNA methylation—can be computed and is associated with an array of factors …

Essential fatty acid (EFA) requirements vary qualitatively and quantitatively with both species
and during ontogeny of fish, with early developmental stages and broodstock being critical …

In mammalian cells, elongases and desaturases play critical roles in regulating the length
and degree of unsaturation of fatty acids and thereby their functions and metabolic fates. In …

The discovery of biomarkers able to predict biological age of individuals is a crucial goal in
aging research. Recently, researchers' attention has turn toward epigenetic markers of …

A significant amount of the fatty acids synthesized by the cytosolic enzyme complex fatty acid
synthase (FAS) or taken up by the diet are further elongated into very long chain fatty acids …

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is important for brain function, and can be obtained directly
from the diet or synthesized in the body from α-linolenic acid (ALA). Debate exists as to …

Fatty acids are critical for the normal development and function of all organisms, and in
particular, very long chain PUFAs are necessary for the health and maintenance of higher …
