Amino Acid Conjugation (Amino Acid Conjugases) Amino acid conjugation attaches an amino acid (primarily glycine , but also glutamine , taurine , arginine , and ornithine ) to the acyl-CoA thioester of a carboxylic acid substrate
Several studies (Table 3) have shown that LA significantly reduces body fat mass, hepatic clearance of TG-rich lipoproteins, and lipid droplets through upregulating the expression levels of hepatic lipolytic enzymes (ATGL, acyl-CoA thioesterase [Acot1], Acot2, Acsf2, and Crat) and downregulating the expression levels of liver lipogenic enzymes (patatin-like phospholipase domain protein [Pnpla3], Pnpla5, Elovl6, Acly, sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 1 [Gpat], Aacs, FASN, ACC, and SCD-1)
M + n is the 13 C ion of the metabolite
