Dobrzyn A, Ntambi J
Obes Rev . 2005 Apr; 6(2):169-74. PMID: 15836467
Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD), the rate-limiting enzyme in monounsaturated fatty acid synthesis, has recently been shown to be the critical control point regulating hepatic lipogenesis and lipid oxidation. As several manifestations...

J Nutr . 2001 Sep; 131(9):2260-8. PMID: 11533264
Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) is a microsomal rate-limiting enzyme in the cellular synthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), mainly oleate (18:1) and palmitoleate (16:1), which are the major MUFA of membrane...

J Biol Chem . 2001 Aug; 276(42):39455-61. PMID: 11500518
1-Alkyl-2,3-diacylglycerol (ADG) is a unique neutral lipid found in the eyeball-associated Harderian gland (HG) of the mouse and acts as a lubricant to facilitate eyelid movement. We found that the...

Miyazaki M, Kim Y, Ntambi J
J Lipid Res . 2001 Jul; 42(7):1018-24. PMID: 11441127
Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) catalyzes the de novo biosynthesis of oleate and palmitoleate, which are the major fatty acids found in triglycerides, cholesteryl esters, and phospholipids. A high carbohydrate (lipogenic) diet...

Bene H, Lasky D, Ntambi J
Biochem Biophys Res Commun . 2001 Jun; 284(5):1194-8. PMID: 11414710
Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) is a microsomal enzyme required for the biosynthesis of oleate (C18:1) and palmitoleate (C16:1) which are the major monounsaturated fatty acids of membrane phospholipids, triglycerides and cholesterol...

J Nutr . 2001 Jan; 130(12):3122S-3126S. PMID: 11110885
The major function of adipocytes is to store triacylglycerol in periods of energy excess and to mobilize this energy during times of deprivation. The short-term control of these lipogenic and...

J Lipid Res . 2000 Aug; 41(8):1310-6. PMID: 10946019
Two stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) isoforms can be expressed during the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes into adipocytes. Here we report on the effects of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma ligand troglitazone...
