Unsaturated fatty acids.
There is good scientific evidence that dietary fatty acid composition is involved in the aetiology of many diseases. Increasing the supply of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) may reduce the risk of CHD. Several scientific organizations (for example, see Department of Health, 1991, 1994; British Nutrition Foundation, 1992; Scientific Committee for Food, 1993; Food and Agriculture Organizat...
متن کاملThe role of unsaturated fatty acids in mitochondrial membrane functions.
oxidation via the tricarboxylic acid cycle. The metabolism of [14C]ethanolamine to fatty acids via acetate has been shown to occur in mammals (Sprinson & Coulon, 1954; Sprinson & Weliky, 1969), but not previously ina bacterium. Thedecreased incorporation of [14C]ethanolamine that occurs when an alternative N source is present is probably related to the repression by (NH4)2S04 of the phospholyas...
متن کاملUnsaturated fatty acids and pain.
Fatty acids, which are the essential nutrients for humans, are an important source of energy and an essential component of cell membranes. They also function as signal transduction molecules in a range of biological phenomena. Recently, an increasing number of physiologic and pharmacologic reports on fatty acids have improved our understanding of the association of fatty acids with certain dise...
متن کاملHydroformylation of Unsaturated Fatty Acids
When hydroformylation of unsaturated fatty materials is done with rhodiu~-tripheny:lphosphine (or phosphite) catalysts, a number of advantages become apparent compared to cobalt carbonyl-catalyzed reactions. With rhodium, the reaction can be carried out (a) at pressures as low as 200 psi, (b) at each double bond location in a polyunsaturated fatty acid, and (c) in high yield and conversion. Sol...
متن کاملOxidation of unsaturated fatty acids
Plant leaf systems have been incubated under various conditions with uniformly labeled oleic acid, and the breakdown products identified by gas-liquid chromatography. Young green leaves of the castor plant (Ricinis gibsonii) and of the field pea plant (Pisum sutiuum) catabolize oleic acid by an oxygen-requiring pathway to heptadec-8-enaI which is then dehydrogenated by an NAD-coupled mechanism ...
