A long-chain fatty acid found in meat and dairy products improves the ability of certain immune cells to kill cancer cells, according to a new study by researchers from the University of Chicago. The ...
Palmitic acid is a saturated long-chain fatty acid (LCFA), a term for fatty acids containing 13 to 21 carbons. Palmitic acid contains 16 carbons. This acid is found in most fats and oils, such as ...
Medium- and short-chain fatty acids (C8-C14) are widely used in industries including food, pharmaceuticals, lubricants, and surfactants, and they are currently mainly extracted from coconut and palm ...
MCTs are triglycerides composed of fatty acids with carbon chain lengths ranging from six to 12 atoms. MCTs are predominantly found in coconut oil, palm kernel oil, and dairy fat. 1,2 Commercial MCT ...
Food: Are all saturated fats equal? Research examines saturated fatty acid chain length and effect on heart health
Saturated fatty acid chain length should be taken into consideration when assessing the impact on heart health, a new study suggests, indicating an opening for food marketers to differentiate the ...

Izvestia: Scientists talked about restoring vision with the help of fatty acids
Researchers at the University of California at Irvine have found that injections of certain polyunsaturated fatty acids can restore visual function in elderly mice and reverse cellular signs of ...
Scientists at UC Irvine have found a way to potentially reverse age-related vision loss by targeting the ELOVL2 “aging gene” and restoring vital fatty acids in the retina. Their experiments in mice ...
