The Role Of VLCSFA In Lorenzo's Body

In the movie, Lorenzo first decreased his dietary intake of saturated fats to attempt to decrease the level of VLCSFA in his body. However, his VLCSFA level was increasing because to compensate for the decrease in dietary intake of saturated fatty acids, the body increases biosynthesis to maintain homeostasis.

Michaela Odone discovered research on fatty acid manipulation that provides a possible solution to Lorenzo’s high level of VLCSFA. He hypothesized that one enzyme added hydrocarbon chains to both saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids. If there were only a limited number of sites at which this enzyme was located, then as the amount of unsaturated fatty acids in the body increased, the opportunity for VLCSFA to be created would
