Effects of Ramadan fasting on plasma free fatty acids in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Introduction: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a global disease which its prevalence is about 10-35%. Several factors are involved in the pathogenesis of the disease. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of fasting during Ramadan on plasma free fatty acids in patients with NAFLD.Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed during the month of Ramadan in June-Ju...

The Effects of Simvastatin on Free Fatty Acids Profile in Fructose-fed Insulin Resistant Rats

Backgrounds: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the most common metabolic disease and free fatty acids, as signaling molecules, can play a crucial role in the development of it. Different free fatty acids, through various cell membrane receptors, induce different effects on metabolic pathways and thereby affect insulin sensitivity. Simvastatin is a cholesterol decreasing drug prescrib...

Short-term effect of nicotinic acid on plasma level and turnover of free fatty acids in sheep and man.

The effects of nicotinic acid on plasma free fatty acid levels and turnover and on plasma glycerol levels were studied in the first few hours after administration to man and the sheep. In both species a fall in all parameters studied was followed by a rise above basal level, interpreted as due to an increase in lipolysis above resting level. The significance of the findings is discussed.

Calorigenic Effect of Norepinephrine Correlated with Plasma Free Fatty Acid Turnover and Oxidation.

Plasma free fatty acid transport during prolonged glucose consumption and its relationship to plasma triglyceride fatty acids in man.

Plasma free fatty acid (FFA) transport in human subjects has been studied during the course of prolonged ingestion of different amounts of glucose. Compared with the fasting state, hypocaloric glucose intake resulted in marked suppression of net transport of FFA with no change in (fractional) turnover rate. There was no further suppression of net transport of FFA when the intake was increased t...
