Brisk walking can increase "good" HDL cholesterol and potentially lower "bad" LDL cholesterol. Learn how much (and how fast) ...

A groundbreaking study reveals that neurons can burn fat, challenging the long-held belief that the brain relies solely on glucose for fuel.

While glucose, or sugar, is a well-known fuel for the brain, Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have demonstrated that ...

Figure 2S, supplementary material, depict the experimental data of purified lipase from Bacillus sp. ITP-001 compared with adjusted non-linear and Eadie-Scatchard data from Silva et al. 36 on the ...

Access to the active site of human pancreatic lipase (HPL) is controlled by a surface loop (the lid) that undergoes a conformational change in the presence of amphiphiles and lipid substrate. The ...

Here we present a study of lipolytic activity of lipases from Fusarium solani pisi (cutinase), Rhizomucor miehei, Pseudomonas cepacia, and Humicola lanuginosa. Their activities toward triolein provide ...

Background Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the lipolysis of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, and the gene coding for LPL is therefore a candidate gene in atherogenesis. We ...

A certain amount of triglycerides is required in the blood to serve as a source of energy, but when there is an excess, these fats increase the risk of heart disease, stroke and other health ...

Background: Hepatic steatosis is associated with obesity and type II diabetes. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) is a non-invasive method for measurement of tissue fat content, including ...

Takeaways FCS is a rare genetic disorder preventing the normal breakdown of triglycerides. It’s caused by a mutation in genes related to the lipoprotein lipase (LpL) enzyme.

Interaction of the lipoprotein lipase asparagine 291→serine mutation with body mass index determines elevated plasma triacylglycerol concentrations: a study in hyperlipidemic subjects, myocardial ...
