In this study, published in the journal Nutrition Research, American researchers tested their hypothesis that increasing polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) intake will increase peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARdelta) expression and activity, and examined the effect of PUFA-enriched oils on muscle PPARdelta expression. One of the oils they tested was cottonseed oil (CSO) which contains dihydrosterculic acid (DHSA), a fatty acid that helps prevent the accumulation of triglycerides in the body.
Based on their findings, the researchers concluded that DHSA from CSO can be used to increase PPARdelta expression and simultaneously lower liver stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 activity.
