Interestingly, higher levels of very long chain saturated fatty acids: arachidic acid (C20:0), behenic acid (C22:0), and lignoceric acid (C24:0), in plasma and erythrocytes, were each associated with better blood lipid profiles and lower insulin resistance and inflammation, and a reduced overall risk of coronary heart disease [39]. The gene discussed is INS; the disease is coronary artery disorder.
