stearic acid and Obesity

stearic acid has been researched along with Obesity in 14 studies

octadecanoic acid : A C18 straight-chain saturated fatty acid component of many animal and vegetable lipids. As well as in the diet, it is used in hardening soaps, softening plastics and in making cosmetics, candles and plastics.

Obesity: A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In the present study, we investigated the effect of long-acyl chain SFA, namely palmitic acid (16:0) and stearic acid (18:0), at sn-1, 3 positions of TAG on obesity."3.80Stearic acids at sn-1, 3 positions of TAG are more efficient at limiting fat deposition than palmitic and oleic acids in C57BL/6 mice. ( Cheng, SF; Chuah, CH; Gouk, SW; Ong, AS, 2014)
"We found strong positive relationships between adipose tissue TG content of the fatty acids myristic acid (14:0) and stearic acid (18:0) with insulin sensitivity (HOMA model) (p < 0."3.75Markers of de novo lipogenesis in adipose tissue: associations with small adipocytes and insulin sensitivity in humans. ( Dennis, AL; Frayn, KN; Harnden, KE; Hodson, L; Humphreys, SM; Micklem, KJ; Neville, MJ; Roberts, R, 2009)
"Stearic acid was inversely correlated with the high-density lipoprotein."1.38[Fatty acids intake and serum lipids profile in overweighted and obese adults]. ( Kłosiewicz-Latoszek, L; Wolańska, D, 2012)
"Obesity is the main risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus, and recent studies have shown that, in diet-induced obesity, the hypothalamus becomes inflamed and dysfunctional, resulting in the loss of the perfect coupling between caloric intake and energy expenditure."1.37Inflammation of the hypothalamus leads to defective pancreatic islet function.
