TL;DR: This work demonstrates in cultured cells that the relative toxicity of two common dietary long chain fatty acids is related to channeling of these lipids to distinct cellular metabolic fates, and supports a model of cellular lipid metabolism in which unsaturated fatty acids serve a protective function against lipotoxicity though promotion of triglyceride accumulation.

TL;DR: Evidence that limiting fatty acid availability can control cancer cell proliferation is summarized, and a view of cancer cell metabolism from a lipid perspective is provided.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that SIRT3 modulates mitochondrial intermediary metabolism and fatty-acid use during fasting and acetylation is identified as a novel regulatory mechanism for mitochondrial fatty- acid oxidation.

TL;DR: The current knowledge of LD cell biology and its translation to physiology is reviewed, finding that many aspects of LD biology are unknown.

TL;DR: It is reported that the ketone body d-β-hydroxybutyrate (βOHB) is an endogenous and specific inhibitor of class I histone deacetylases (HDACs), and treatment of mice with βOHB conferred substantial protection against oxidative stress.
