Lipid droplets have rarely been spotted within neurons, reinforcing the notion that neurons don’t metabolize fat for energy. However, in a rare disorder called hereditary spastic paraplegia, which is ...

The contribution of lipids to our energy supply is quantitatively important, especially during prolonged muscular exercise, when as much as 80% of the energy is supplied by lipid oxidation. 13 ...

In living organisms, the cell membrane plays a crucial role. It’s not just a protective barrier—it also senses the ...

New research suggests that long-distance running triggers a temporary change in brain structure.

Claypool says few studies have detailed individual protein-lipid interactions, and many more experiments will be needed to "understand the full complement of mechanisms and roles that these ...

Cancer cells seldom start off stealthy. Quite to the contrary, they announce their presence to the immune system by planting chemical red flags right on their membranes. Once alerted, the body's ...

Patients with severe obesity undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for weight loss demonstrated greater reductions in blood lipids at 6 weeks vs. those on a very low-energy diet, according to study ...

In patients with obesity, gastric bypass surgery plus a very low-energy diet reduced major atherogenic blood lipids to a greater degree than a very low-energy diet alone at 6 weeks, according to ...
