Loss of stearoyl–CoA desaturase-1 function protects mice against adiposity

JM Ntambi, M Miyazaki, JP Stoehr… - Proceedings of the …, 2002 - National Acad Sciences
Stearoyl–CoA desaturase (SCD) is a central lipogenic enzyme catalyzing the synthesis of
monounsaturated fatty acids, mainly oleate (C18:1) and palmitoleate (C16:1), which are …

Role for stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 in leptin-mediated weight loss

P Cohen, M Miyazaki, ND Socci, A Hagge-Greenberg… - Science, 2002 - science.org
Leptin elicits a metabolic response that cannot be explained by its anorectic effects alone.
To examine the mechanism underlying leptin's metabolic actions, we used transcription …

Regulation of stearoyl-CoA desaturases and role in metabolism

JM Ntambi, M Miyazaki - Progress in lipid research, 2004 - Elsevier
Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) is the rate-limiting enzyme catalyzing the synthesis of
monounsaturated fatty acids, mainly oleate (18:1) and palmitoleate (16:1). These represent the …

[HTML][HTML] The biosynthesis of hepatic cholesterol esters and triglycerides is impaired in mice with a disruption of the gene for stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1
