In a collaborative effort, researchers have uncovered a novel link between gut microbiota-derived palmitic acid (PA) and increased thrombosis risk in cardiovascular disease (CVD). Their findings, ...

Palmitic acid, formally hexadecanoic acid, is a long-chain saturated fatty acid. It exists in nature primarily as a triglyceride and other esters. The most common natural fatty acid, it is abundant in ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have found that palmitic acid, one of the most common fats in human milk, meats and dairy products, is made by the liver and sent to the developing brain when ...

Researchers at IRB Barcelona publish in the journal Nature the mechanism by which dietary palmitic acid (and not oleic or linoleic acid) favours tumour expansion. Tumour cells temporarily exposed to a ...

Plasma ceramides and sphingomyelins with palmitic acid were linked to a 34% and 37% increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) per higher SD of log sphingolipid levels, respectively. After looking ...
