In mammals, elongation of very long-chain fatty acids protein 6 (ELOVL6) play a role in both the elongation of fatty acids and the development of associated inflammation. However, the function and transcriptional regulatory mechanisms of Elovl6 in invertebrates are poorly understood. This study aimed to examine the function of Elovl6 and its transcriptional regulatory mechanism in Scylla paramamosain.

Our study sought to investigate the correlations between erythrocyte membrane SFAs and key metabolic markers within glycemic and lipid metabolism in a Chinese population of 798 residents aged 41 to 71 from Guangzhou. Using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, we assessed the erythrocyte membrane saturated fatty acid profile and performed multiple linear regression to evaluate the relationship between different SFA subtypes and metabolic markers.
