ARACHIDONIC ACID IN BUTTER FAT

Lipolysis meets inflammation: arachidonic acid mobilization from fat.

Determination of Fatty Acids in Butter Fat: I*

INTRODUCTION Since reporting a method (14) 2 for the determination of stearic acid in butter fat, work has been continued with a view of evolving a process for determining some of the remaining fatty acids. The object of the investigation was to deduce practical analytical methods which might serve to measure the effect of feed upon the composition of the resulting butter fat. Such methods, how...

Arachidonic Acid Metabolites in Inflammation

Activation by Arachidonic Acid

Mechanosensitive ion channels have been described in many types of cells. These channels are believed to transduce pressure signals into intracellular biochemical and physiological events. In this study, the patch-clamp technique was used to idendfy and characterize a mechanosensitive ion channel in rat atrial cells. In cell-attached patches, negative pressure in the pipette activated an ion ch...

Shea Butter: An Opposite Replacement for Trans Fat in Margarine

Shea butter is the edible fat extracted from the nut of African Shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa). Consequence of having half of its fatty acids saturated, Shea butter melts at a very high temperature and will be a suitable raw material for margarine production. Margarine is a butter mimicry that is produced from vegetable oils and water. The production of margarine requires a solid fat. Hence hy...
