Ruminant meat is widely appreciated for its distinctive flavor. Lipids play a central role in influencing meat flavor, yet their genetic and biochemical basis remains largely unexplored. Here, a comprehensive lipid genetic map of sheep muscle is constructed and 20 candidate genes potentially modulating lipid levels are identified to provide a roadmap ...

Fatty acid modulation of the endocannabinoid system and the effect on food intake and metabolism [PDF]
Endocannabinoids and their G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR) are a current research focus in the area of obesity due to the system’s role in food intake and glucose and lipid metabolism.

The genetics of lipid storage and human lipodystrophies. [PDF]
Life depends on securing sufficient energy intake to enable growth, movement, and reproduction. Throughout evolution, lifeforms have struggled to ensure adequate energy intake, and this remains a major challenge for many species.

Main Points Brain oligodendrocytes have lower rates of cholesterol synthesis and higher rates of lipoprotein uptake than spinal cord oligodendrocytes. Myelin lipid content is higher in CNS regions with larger average axon diameter. Brain and spinal cord myelin cholesterol content is innately different, while myelin fatty acid content can be modulated ...

Changes in lipid composition during sexual development of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum
Background The development of differentiated sexual stages (gametocytes) within human red blood cells is essential for the propagation of the malaria parasite, since only mature gametocytes will survive in the mosquito’s midgut.
