Could a Mediterranean diet reduce Alzheimer’s risk for some people more than others? I unpack a new study that shows why those with ApoE4 should (or should not) pay attention to these new data.

Losing weight does far more than shrink a waistline. In men with abdominal obesity, shedding roughly ten kilograms through ...

S-palmitoylation, a reversible lipid-based post-translational modification, is notably elevated in colorectal cancer (CRC) due to common lipid metabolism disorders. It has been reported to play ...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is increasingly recognised as a disorder in which disturbances of lipid homeostasis contribute to amyloid accumulation, tau pathology, neuroinflammation and synaptic loss. In ...

EPFL scientists have identified a molecular pathway that protects cells from lipid oxidation and ferroptosis, a regulated form of cell death involved in aging and several diseases. Our cells ...

FAS, fatty acid synthase; FATP, fatty acid transporter protein; GPCR, G protein-coupled receptor; LPC, lysophosphatidylcholine; LXR, liver X receptor; PPARγ, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ...

A randomized controlled trial found that daily ginger supplementation may improve cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) and reduce oxidative stress in healthy adults. The findings suggest ginger could ...

Sterols, such as cholesterol in our bodies or ergosterol in yeast cells, are among the most abundant lipids in eukaryotic cells, yet are synthesized through notoriously long, complex metabolic ...

A new lipid-based pathway essential for memory formation has been discovered by University of Queensland researchers—a breakthrough that could lead to treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder ...

A deep dive into lipid genetics reveals how ancestry-specific molecular pathways could be driving higher diabetes and heart disease risk, bringing researchers closer to more precise, ...

The single-celled parasite Leishmania infantum is a master of metabolic piracy. Transmitted by sandflies and responsible for ...
