Cells refine palm fat into olive oil

Study by the University of Bonn provides the first precise insight into important remodeling processes in adipose tissue. Fat droplets - Fat droplets in the fat cell of a mouse: The membrane of the droplets was stained green, and the fat stored in them was stained red. Johanna Spandl / University of Bonn . For more than 50 years, it has been suspected that fat cells constantly remodel the lipids they store. Researchers at the University of Bonn have now demonstrated this process directly for the first time using culture cells. Among other things, the study shows that the cells quickly eliminate harmful fatty acids. They refine others into molecules that can be used more effectively.
