| Research Abstract |
To evaluate the effect of high plasma levels of free fatty acid, which are observed in the patients with obesity or diabetes, and catalytic enzyme of fatty acid on the onset of cardiovascular disease, we examined several basic analyses. As a result, we identified that saturated-fatty acids adversely affect the cardiovascular disease, and stearoyl-coA desaturase-1 (SCD-1), a catalytic enzyme which converts saturated fatty acids to monounsaturated fatty acids, has a protective role against saturated-fatty acids-induced these effects. In conclusions, our results demonstrated that SCD-1 as the novel preventive and therapeutic target for cardiovascular disease in obese or diabetic patients.
