Lipids include fats (solid at room temperature) and oils (liquid at room temperature). Lipids are an important part of a healthy diet. The body uses lipids as an energy store, as insulation and to ...

There's a growing body of evidence that gold nanoparticles can offer significant, targeted weight loss that focuses on fat ...

The hydrophilic head is composed of a choline structure (blue) and a phosphate (orange). This head is connected to a glycerol (green) with two hydrophobic tails (purple) called fatty acids.

This ability of lipo-cartilage to spring back to its original structure is what gives the ... or shrink down based on the available dietary fats. Since LCs did not express the genes to absorb external ...

[9] The TG component of VLDL also undergoes hydrolysis by capillary LPL to provide fatty acids to adipose and muscle tissue. The remaining lipid portion is called IDL. IDL is then converted to LDL ...

Wu and colleagues confirmed that cultured-microglia-carrying lipid droplets struggled with phagocytosis, poorly engulfing ...

Adipocytes in the skin contain one large liquid droplet of fat molecules (or lipids), which can be released from the cell in response to various biological events. In the two mouse models of skin ...

Here, we discuss the central role of lipid chaperones — the fatty acid-binding proteins ... Figure 3: Crystal structure of the synthetic A-FABP inhibitor BMS309403 bound to human A-FABP.

Lipids include fats (solid at room temperature) and oils (liquid at room temperature). Lipids are an important part of a healthy diet. The body uses lipids as an energy store, as insulation and to ...

Lipids serve several important physiologic functions ... bile acids are crucial for the absorption of dietary fat in the small intestine. TGs offer an ideal means of energy storage and production ...
