There are other studies where oleic acid or formation of oleic acid from palmitic acid is rate limiting for cancer growth. One study compared calorie restriction to a ketogenic diet--the ketogenic diet was more effective versus cancer if it contained more palmitic and less oleic acid.

Lipid shortages impair tumor growth because cancer cells need lipids to construct their cell membranes. Normally, when lipids aren't available in a tissue, cells can make their own. As part of this process, they need to maintain the right balance of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, which requires an enzyme called stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD). This enzyme is responsible for converting saturated fatty acids into unsaturated fatty acids.

These are the two most common fats in the human body. And human bodies carry a much longer supply of fat than a mouse does, this is probably much harder to manipulate in us. |
