| Research Abstract |
The clinical findings suggest that elevated plasma free fatty acids could be associated with acceleration of cardiovascular disease. However, little is known about the mechanism by which disturbance for the effect of fatty acid composition in heart or vessel results in cardiovascular diseases. We have focused on two fatty acid catalytic enzymes, Stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1), that catalyzes the synthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) from saturated fatty acids (SFA), Elongase of long chain fatty acids 6 (Elovl6), that catalyzes the elongation of long-chain SFA and MUFA. Collectively, our results suggest that perturbation of fatty acid composition in heart and blood vessel leads to the onset and development of cardiovascular disease, and also suggest that SCD1 and Elovl6 as the novel protective and therapeutic target for cardiovascular disease.
