A20 Attenuates FFAs-Induced Lipid Accumulation in Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis
A20 is a ubiquitin-editing enzyme that attenuates the activity of proximal signaling complexes at pro-inflammatory receptors. It has been well documented that A20 protein plays an important role in response to liver injury and hepatocytes apoptosis in ...

Overexpression of endogenous galactolipases and an efflux transporter enhances the secretion of extracellular free fatty acids by Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 [PDF]
Background Cyanobacterial mutants engineered for production of free fatty acids (FFAs) are potentially useful sources of biofuels, since the FFAs are secreted into the extracellular medium.

Serum free fatty acids and progression of coronary artery calcification: sex specific findings from a large U.S. cohort study [PDF]
Background Studies evaluating the longitudinal relationship between plasma free fatty acids (FFAs) and subclinical atherosclerosis remain limited. We investigated the prospective association between serum FFA levels and the progression of coronary artery
