On the Complexity of PAHSA Research

Cell Metab. 2018 Oct 2;28(4):541-542. doi: 10.1016/j.cmet.2018.09.006. Epub 2018 Sep 20.

Abstract

Reporting in Cell Metabolism, Pflimlin et al. recently found no beneficial effect of PAHSAs on glucose control in mice on several high-fat diets. Kuda cautions that due to methodological differences, the data must be carefully reinterpreted, emphasizing that olive oil contains high amounts of FAHFAs, potentially masking the effects of PAHSAs in studies utilizing this vehicle.
