The fatty acid composition of the major lipids of the chloroplast membranes, the mono- and digalactosyl diglycerides, can be definably altered with various substituted pyridazinones. Galactolipid fatty acid composition of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) can be altered so that there is a decrease in linolenic acid accompanied by an increase in linoleic acid without a shift in the relative proportio...

Introduction In recent years, a wealth of studies have appeared addressing the effect of exercise on the fatty acid composition of animal tissues. In the vast majority of these studies, fatty acid analysis has been performed in whole tissues and, as far as phospholipids are concerned, without separating their species. No study has analyzed the fatty acid profile of all individual phospholipids ...

Background: This study aimed at determining the appropriate method for dewatering and drying biomass and selecting a suitable organic solvent for lipid extraction. Methods: Nannochloropsis Oculata was cultured in Gillard F/2 medium and after reaching the end of the stationary growth phase, algal biomass was separated from aqueous by centrifuge and dried through three methods: Oven, Air-dried an...

background and objectives: probiotic bacteria are able to absorb fatty acids present in the culture medium and convert them into intracellular fatty acids, which may affect the physicochemical properties of probiotics. subsequently, changing the composition of cellular fatty acids of probiotics improves the electron acceptance capacity of these microorganisms, and results in an increased adhesi...

OBJECTIVE This is an Asian study, which was designed to examine the correlations between biochemical data and food composition of diabetic patients in Taiwan. METHODS One hundred and seventy Taiwanese diabetic patients were enrolled. The correlations between biochemical data and diet composition (from 24-hour recall of intake food) of these patients were explored (Spearman correlation, p < 0....

The biosynthetic pathways of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids consist of many steps controlled by various enzymes. One of the methods for improving oil quality is to change the fatty acid profile through genetic manipulation which requires isolation and characterization of the genes and other cis-acting elements, such as the promoter, involved in fatty acid biosynthesis. b-ketoacyl-CoA syn...

Various science researches have shown that meat of ruminants has more desirable fatty acid composition and a ratio between ω-6 and ω-3 fatty acids (lower than 4.0) because of lower content of linoleic, and a higher content of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially linolenic fatty acid. The aim of the present study is to examine researches about feeding modulation of the fatty acid composit...

The fatty acid composition of bone marrow lipid was studied in 10 normal individuals and in 90 patients with a hematologic disorders. Simultaneously , the fatty acid composition of bone marrow was studied in rabbits and dogs which were injected with nitromin and cortisone, and others which were irradiated and subjected to periodic venesection. The fatty acid composition of normal human bone mar...
