Wound Repair Regen. 2004 Mar-Apr;12(2):235-43. Influence of topical administration of n-3 and n-6 essential and n-9 nonessential fatty acids on the healing of cutaneous wounds. Cardoso CR, Souza MA, Ferro EA, Favoreto S Jr, Pena JD. Injury triggers a series of physiological events at the wound site. These include an inflammatory response that is established [...]
Nutrition. 1999 May;15(5):392-401. The influence of maternal diet on breast cancer risk among female offspring. Hilakivi-Clarke L, Clarke R, Lippman M. The induction of breast cancer is a long process, containing a series of biological events that drive a normal mammary cell towards malignant growth. However, it is not known when the initiation of breast [...]

“An excess of tryptophan in the diet, especially with deficiencies of other nutrients, can combine with inflammation to increase serotonin. Polyunsaturated fatty acids promote the absorption of tryptophan by the brain, and its conversion to serotonin. A “deficiency” of polyunsaturated fat decreases the expression of the enzyme that synthesizes serotonin (McNamara, et al., 2009). -Ray [...]
The choice of foods which have less unsaturated fat tends to reinforce the achievements of evolution. -Ray Peat, PhD The discoveries listed in the studies below were made by the same researcher (George Burr) who discovered the “essential fatty acids.” With a different perspective, we can conclude that the “EFA” lower the metabolic rate of [...]
A crucial enzyme in the mitochondrion is cytochrome oxidase, which reacts directly with oxygen, completing (or beginning) the process of chemical respiration. It is this enzyme (which is most sensitive to cyanide) which appears to be a “choke point” for energy production in various situations. Learning how to preserve and promote the activity of this [...]
Res Clin Stud Headache. 1978;6:110-6. Role of individual free fatty acids in migraine. Anthony M. Total plasma free fatty acids, platelet serotonin content and plasma stearic, palmitic, oleic and linoleic acids were estimated in 10 migraine patients before, during and after a migraine attack. Total and individual plasma free fatty acid levels rose and platelet [...]
Adv Shock Res. 1981;6:93-105. Essential fatty acid deficient rats: a new model for evaluating arachidonate metabolism in shock. Cook JA, Wise WC, Knapp DR, Halushka PV. Essential fatty acid deficient (EFAD) rats are significantly more resistant to the lethal effects of S. enteritidis endotoxin (20 mg/kg, IV) than normal control rats. Compared to endotoxin-treated normal [...]
Hard to believe this unscientifically “scientific” article was written by a PhD who is “of international renown in the field of lipid biochemistry.” Can I at least get one scientific reference to back up your claims, Dr. Enig? -FPS Ray Peat, PhD, is an influential health writer who claims that there is no such thing [...]
