Background: Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) promotes low-density lipoprotein receptor degradation and thereby regulates plasma LDL cholesterol levels. Although PCSK9 is primarily produced by the liver, it has been detected in pl...

Atherosclerosis is a progressive cardiovascular disease characterized by lipid accumulation, oxidative stress, and inflammation within the arterial walls. Environmental pollutants, including particulate matter (PM), diesel exhaust particles (DEPs), a...

Lipids are a diverse group of hydrophobic molecules including fats, oils, phospholipids, and steroids that are vital for numerous biological functions including energy storage, cellular structure, and signaling whose composition and metabolism underg...

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in insulin-resistant individuals, with metabolic cardiomyopathy preceding overt heart failure in a substantial proportion of patients with diabetes. Skeletal muscle accounts for approximately 4...

Chronic, low-grade inflammation is a characteristic of metabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes. Despite recommendations to select low- or non-fat dairy foods over full-fat dairy foods for metabolic health, recent research suggests potential anti-infl...

Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) remains a widely used, cost-effective and convenient method to separate small molecules, particularly in the field of natural products and (phospho)lipids. Despite advances in chromatographic methods such as high-perfo...

Background: In recent decades, interest has grown in the link between lipid metabolism and mental health. Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) play a crucial role in brain function, neuroplasticity, and emotional regulation. Deficiency or an imbalanced...

Background/Objectives: Long-chain fatty acids induce lipid droplet formation in several cell types including cancer cells. These lipid droplets have been shown to accumulate in various cancers and are dysregulated in many pathologies. Thus, this stud...
