Fatty acids, along with glucose and amino acids, are a major energy source for cellular growth and proliferation, and abnormal fatty acid metabolism is often seen in cancer.

Key Points: 
  • Fatty acids, along with glucose and amino acids, are a major energy source for cellular growth and proliferation, and abnormal fatty acid metabolism is often seen in cancer.
  • Unlike glucose and amino acids, however, the mechanisms underlying the uptake of fatty acids into cells have been lesser known and difficult to discern.
  • The technical tools for measuring fatty acid uptake at the single-cell level are extremely limited.
  • To profile the fatty acid uptake, the researchers chose a surrogate molecule that was structurally similar to natural fatty acids.

Chromium supports the actions of insulin in the body to influence these parameters and others associated with cardiovascular and metabolic health.

Key Points: 
  • Chromium supports the actions of insulin in the body to influence these parameters and others associated with cardiovascular and metabolic health.
  • However, mixed results from clinical studies have contributed to controversy on the effectiveness of fish oil supplementation for cardiovascular health.
  • Furthermore, obtaining gram amounts of omega-3 fatty acids from fish and fish oil supplements can be rather expensive, so cost prohibitive for many people.
  • Although significant improvements in most parameters were observed with fish oil supplementation for 12 weeks in both trials, improvements were significantly, and dose-dependently, greater with the addition of Crominex3+ to fish oil supplementation.

The Keio Research Highlights website offers more details about this and other recent research being conducted by researchers at Keio University.

Key Points: 
  • The Keio Research Highlights website offers more details about this and other recent research being conducted by researchers at Keio University.
  • "The extremely diverse nature of lipids means that it is not only challenging to identify and determine species but also to quantify their roles as signaling molecules in physiology and disease," says Makoto Arita, a professor at the Keio University Faculty of Pharmacy.
  • They also identified unique lipid structures that are directly related to gut microorganisms, including acyl alpha-hydroxyl fatty acid (AAHFA).
  • "Ultimately, this research could potentially lead to the discovery of new functional metabolites involved in host homeostasis and the onset of diseases."
