Nitro-fatty Acids Occur in Human Plasma in the Picomolar Range: a Targeted Nitro-lipidomics GC-MS/MS Study
Sep 01, 2009; ... Abstract First studies on the occurrence of nitrated fatty acids in plasma of healthy subjects revealed basal concentrations of 600 nM for free/nonesterified nitro-oleic acid (NO^sub 2^-OA) as measured by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). We recently showed by a gas ...
Liquid Chromatography-High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry for Quantitative Analysis of Gangliosides
Sep 01, 2009; ... Abstract Gangliosides are a large family of glycosphingolipids that are abundant in the brain, and have been shown to affect neuronal plasticity during development, adulthood, and aging. We developed a fast, efficient, and sensitive liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method to quantify ...
Artificial Rearing of Infant Mice Leads to n-3 Fatty Acid Deficiency in Cardiac, Neural and Peripheral Tissues
Aug 01, 2009; ... Abstract The ability to control the fatty acid content of the diet during early development is a crucial requirement for a one-generation model of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n3) deficiency. A hand feeding method using artificial rearing (AR) together with sterile, artificial milk was ...
Docosahexaenoic Acid Activates Some SREBP-2 Targets Independent of Cholesterol and ER Stress in SW620 Colon Cancer Cells
Aug 01, 2009; ... Abstract The SREBP-2 transcription factor is mainly activated by low cellular cholesterol levels. However, other factors may also cause SREBP-2 activation. We have previously demonstrated activation of SREBP-2 by the polyunsaturated fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in SW620 colon cancer ...
Involvement of Lipids in Dimethoate-Induced Inhibition of Testosterone Biosynthesis in Rat Interstitial Cells
Aug 01, 2009; ... Abstract The mechanism involved in the inhibition of testosterone (Te) biosynthesis after a sub-chronic exposure to low doses of dimethoate (D) was studied in rat interstitial cells (IC). Expression of COX-2 in IC isolated from D-treated rats increased by 44% over C data, while transcription of ...
