Importantly, another central effect of ethanol on lipids is to activate (e.g., via ER stress, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and/or hepatic PPAR-gamma) de novo lipogenesis (DNL) while concomitantly inhibiting processes that block this response, such as AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) ...
A fatty acid’s chemical structure is composed of hydrogen and carbon. A saturated fatty acid has single bonds between its carbon atoms and carries the maximum amount of hydrogen they are able to hold. A polyunsaturated fat has double bonds between some of its carbon atoms, meaning there are...
