Physico-Chemical Characterization of Sesame Oil Derivatives
Sep 01, 2008; ... Abstract Ozone treatment of commercially available vegetable oils gives rise to the formation of chemical species that are responsible for the therapeutic properties of ozonated oil derivatives in dermatological diseases. In the last years, these products have been successfully used as a topical ...
Dietary Conjugated Linoleic Acid Renal Benefits and Possible Toxicity vary with Isomer, Dose and Gender in Rat Polycystic Kidney Disease
Sep 01, 2008; ... Abstract Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory in the Han:SPRD-cy rat model of kidney disease. We used different doses of CLA and examined effects on renal histological benefit, the renal PPARγ system and hepatic and renal levels of CLA isomers. Male and ...
HDL Composition Regulates Displacement of Cell Surface-Bound Hepatic Lipase
Sep 01, 2008; ... Abstract HDL is able to displace cell surface-bound hepatic lipase (HL) and stimulate vascular triglyceride (TG) hydrolysis, much like heparin. Displacement appears to be a result of a high-affinity association of HL and apoA-I. HDL varies in its ability to displace HL, and therefore experiments ...
Stearidonic Acid-Enriched Soybean Oil Increased the Omega-3 Index, an Emerging Cardiovascular Risk Marker
Sep 01, 2008; ... Abstract A plant source of omega-3 fatty acid (FA) that can raise tissue eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and/or docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is needed. A soybean oil (SBO) containing approximately 20% stearidonic acid [SDA; the delta-6 desaturase product of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)] derived from ...
Physico-Chemical Characterisation of Lipids from Mytilus galloprovincialis (L.) and Rapana venosa and their Healing Properties on Skin Burns
Sep 01, 2008; ... Abstract Black Sea molluscs and gastropods are the most studied organisms from the Romanian littoral zone. In particular, those from the Mytilidae species are of great interest because biochemical investigations have shown that they can be sources of biological active substances which can have ...
Significance of Coprophagy for the Fatty Acid Profile in Body Tissues of Rabbits Fed Different Diets
Sep 01, 2008; ... Abstract Four groups of eight New Zealand hybrid rabbits were fattened with ad libitum access to the following pelleted experimental diets: ryegrass meal or alfalfa meal fed either alone or with oats meal in a ratio of 1:1. After 25 weeks they were slaughtered and dissected. Fatty acid (FA) ...
Multiply Methyl-Branched Fatty Acids and Diacids in the Polar Lipids of a Microaerophilic Subsurface Microbial Community
Sep 01, 2008; ... Abstract A previously unreported series of di- and trimethylated fatty acids, as well as saturated and monounsaturated diacids were identified in polar lipids isolated from environmental subsurface sediment samples. Mechanisms are proposed for their formation, but their origin and role in cell ...
Dietary n-3 HUFA Affects Mitochondrial Fatty Acid [beta]-Oxidation Capacity and Susceptibility to Oxidative Stress in Atlantic Salmon
Sep 01, 2008; ... Abstract Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) (90 g) were fed four different diets for 21 weeks (final weight 344 g). The levels of n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) ranged from 11% of the total fatty acids (FA) in the low n-3 diet to 21% in the intermediate n-3 diet, to 55 and 58% in the high ...
