saturated fatty acid

Researchers at the University of Queensland have revealed the crucial role of saturated fatty acids in the brain's consolidation of memories.

This cleavage process is activated by saturated fatty acids and deactivated by polyunsaturated fatty acids, suggesting that RHBDL4's activity is modulated by the type of fatty acid.

Research has found that higher intakes of saturated fatty acids are linked to an increased risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and dementia.

This was unexpected, because the predicted outcome of SCD inhibition would be the accumulation of saturated fatty acids that are toxic to cells at high concentrations4.

Between the reports condemning coconut’s high count of saturated fatty acids and the raves regarding its potent doses of fiber, vitamins and minerals, it’s exhausting to follow.
