Kerth found, as expected, that thin, half-inch steaks cooked at relatively low temperatures have mostly the beefy flavors characteristic of fatty acid breakdown, while higher temperatures also ...

This breakdown of fatty acids, in turn, provides the cell energy while reducing the chance that excess fatty acids will accumulate.

Transposons randomly copy-and-paste themselves and nearby genes, such as the gene for fatty-acid breakdown, to new locations in the genome.

Impaired mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation is primarily responsible for reduced fatty acid degradation, which disrupts energy balance and lipid homeostasis in the body.

Dutch researcher Vincent de Boer has discovered that polyphenols increase the fatty acid breakdown in rats and influence the glucose use in fat cells.

Scientists pinpointed 80 gene variants, including eight tied to fatty acid metabolism, that may cause breast cancer in some people, new research suggests.
