The self-assembled supramolecular structures of diacylphosphatidylcholine (diC(n)PC), diacylphosphatidylethanolamine (diC(n)PE), diacylphosphatidyglycerol (diC(n)PG), and diacylphosphatidylserine (diC(n)PS) were investigated by (31)P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy as a function of the hydrophobic acyl chain length. Short-chain homologs of these lipids formed micelles, and longer-...

A clear structure-property relationship was revealed in a series of triphenylene-based dimers, which contained two triphenylene nuclei each bearing five β-OC4H9 substituents and are linked through a flexible O(CH2)nO polymethylene chain (n=6-12). Dimers with the linkage close to twice the length of the free side chains (n=8, 9) exhibited a single Colhp phase, while others with the linkage short...

We prove that for every graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and with minimum degree five, the domination number $\gamma(G)$ cannot exceed $n/3$. The proof combines an algorithmic approach discharging method. Using same technique, we provide a shorter known upper bound $4n/11$ of graphs four.

The influence of dietary fatty acids (FA) on intestinal brush border FA composition and nutrient transport functions was studied in broiler chickens. Ross chicks (2 wk old) were fed for 14 d a standard diet (CTL) or diets enriched with saturated fatty acids (SFA; 60 g/kg lard, LAR diet), (n-3) PUFA (60 g/kg linseed oil, LSO diet) and (n-6) PUFA (60 g/kg sunflower oil, SFO diet). The SFA of the ...

BACKGROUND Linseed oil has been investigated as a rich source of n-3 series polyunsaturated fatty acids, which mainly produce a non-atherogenic lipid profile. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of linseed oil supplementation associated with nutritional guidelines on the lipid profiles of older adults, according to the intake of saturated fatty acids (SFA). METHODS We co...

Our aim was to determine whether meal fatty acids influence insulin and glucose responses to mixed meals and whether these effects can be explained by variations in postprandial NEFA and Apo, which regulate the metabolism of triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins (Apo C and E). A single-blind crossover study examined the effects of single meals enriched in saturated fatty acids SFA), n-6 PUFA and MU...

11 The dynamics of a population of integrate and fire (IF) neurons with spike-frequency adaptation (SFA) 12 is studied. Using a population density approach and assuming a slow dynamics for the variable driving 13 SFA, an equation for the emission rate of a finite set of uncoupled neurons is derived. The system dynamics 14 is then analyzed in the neighborhood of its stable fixed points by linear...

The prevention of type 2 diabetes has become an important clinical and health policy issue around the globe because of the increasing rates of diabetes in developed as well as in developing countries. Evidence of successful programs concerning the primary prevention of diabetes has only very recently been provided. The Finnish Diabetes Prevention Study (1) was the largest randomized interventio...

The present study aimed to evaluate the lipid content and oxidation of fallow deer (FD), wild boar (WB), pig meat (PM) at −18 °C for a 360-day storage period. lowest fat was observed in thigh (TM) FD (2.53%; p ˂ 0.05). ratio polyunsaturated/saturated fatty acids (PUFA/SFA), n-6/n-3, hypocholesterolemic/hypercholesterolemic index (h/H), nutritional quality indexes were calculated. PUFA/SFA each ...
