Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs): As the name suggests, these fatty acids contain multiple carbon-carbon double bonds.

Bioinformatics scientists have discovered that the number of theoretically possible fatty acids with the same chain length but different structures can be determined with the aid of the famous ...

Fatty acids function both as an energy source and as metabolic signalling molecules and affect many vital processes. This complexity combined with the chemical characteristics of lipids present many ...

May 18 (UPI) --Two new studies have identified links between polyunsaturated fatty acids in the blood and integrity of brain structures and cognitive abilities in aging. Researchers at the University ...

Researchers have succeeded in producing fatty acids in large quantities from sugar or waste containing sugar with the help of yeasts. Short-chain fatty acids are high-value constituents of cosmetics, ...

Fiber-rich, antioxidant-packed options like black beans, salmon, and oats support gut health. These foods may both aid in colon cancer recovery and lower cancer risk.
