Hydroxy fatty acids, particularly those forming fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFAs), have emerged as promising bioactive molecules with significant anti-inflammatory and metabolic ...

UPTON, NY - Hundreds of naturally occurring specialty fatty acids (building blocks of oils) have potential for use as raw materials for making lubricants, plastics, pharmaceuticals, and more--if ...

This analysis led to the discovery of a new class of bioactive lipids, branched fatty acid hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFAs), which are made in humans, animals, and plants and have antidiabetic and ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — It sounds like modern-day alchemy: Transforming sugar into hydrocarbons found in gasoline. But that’s exactly what scientists have done. In a study in Nature Chemistry, researchers ...

The second-year master’s student in Concordia’s Department of Biology investigates how a bacterial enzyme that converts fatty acids into terminal alkenes, called OleT, could be the key to developing ...

Epeleuton, previously named DS102, is 15-hydroxy eicosapentaenoic acid (15 (S)-HEPE) ethyl ester, a next-generation synthetic n-3 fatty acid and derivative of an endogenous downstream metabolite ...
