When scientists blocked one specific receptor (GPR40) in pig milk cells, the cells made about 38% less milk fat from oleic acid — blocking the other receptor (GPR120) had a smaller effect.

Oleic acid-enriched diet improves maternal lactation performance and neonatal growth through GPR40 and GPR120 signaling pathways

Randomized Controlled Trial

Animal

2025 Dec

The study found that blocking GPR40 cut fat buildup in milk-making cells by about 38%, while blocking GPR120 had a much smaller effect—exactly what the claim says.

Similar Assertions

In pig milk cells, the GPR40 receptor is more important than GPR120 for helping oleic acid make milk fat.

In pig milk-making cells, oleic acid turns on certain fat-handling proteins and helps make more milk fat, and this happens mostly through two specific cell receptors called GPR40 and GPR120.
