Biological and cellular effects when a fatty acid/DMSO mixture is introduced into a biological system:
Changes in lipid metabolism:Decreases fat accumulation: Studies on liver cells have shown that DMSO treatment can decrease overall lipid accumulation and increase fatty acid oxidation.
Induces autophagy: In a dose-dependent manner, DMSO can activate autophagy, a cellular process that degrades lipids. This mechanism contributes to the reduction of lipid content in cells exposed to fatty acids.
B vitamins and lipid synthesis
Primarily B-family, serve as crucial cofactors for enzymes involved in the synthesis of lipids such as fatty acids, triglycerides, and cholesterol.
