Significant associations of stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD1) gene with fat deposition and composition in skeletal muscle
<p>Gene expression studies in humans and animals have shown that elevated stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD1) activity is associated with increased fat accumulation and monounsaturation of saturated fatty acids in skeletal muscle. However, results of the two reported association studies in humans a...
