Feeding high oleic acid Canola oil or olive oil alters inflammation, insulin resistance and lipid metabolism in a rodent model of diet induced obesity
DownloadFall 2011
To determine the efficacy of feeding monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) via a high MUFA Canola oil on T2D risk factors diet induced obese rats were fed either a low fat diet (LF), a high fat low MUFA diet (HF), a high fat high MUFA olive oil diet (OO), or a high fat high MUFA Canola oil diet...

The role of de novo phosphatidylcholine synthesis in the gut-liver axis and intestinal homeostasis
DownloadSpring 2023
The intestine and liver are in constant communication to maintain lipid processes and to prevent disease states such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and colitis. Phosphatidylcholine (PC) can be synthesized in the liver by the CDP-choline pathway or the phosphatidylethanolamine...
