In this study, we investigated the relationship between unsaturated fatty acids influencing beef flavor and four types of SNPs (c.280A>G, c.388G>A, c.408G>C and c.456A>G) located at exon 2, 3 and 4 of the FABP4 gene, which is a fatty acid binding protein 4 in Korean cattle (n = 513). When analyzing the relationship between single genotype, fatty acids and carcass trait, individuals of GG, GG, C...

Drcarboxylic aciduria is a condition sometimes encountered during routine urine screening for inborn errors of metabolism [l] and may be due to ketosrs, a transient condition m some neonates [2] or a number of enzyme deficiencies mainly involving fatty acid metabolism or transport. Unsaturated dicarboxylic acids have also been reported m some of these conditions. These compounds are usually det...

Objectives: The objective of this research was to investigate the chemical composition and antibacterial activities of the fatty acids and essential oil from various parts of Ligularia persica Boiss (L. persica) growing wild in north of Iran. Materials and Methods: Essential oils were extracted by using Clevenger-type apparatus. Antibacterial activity was tested on two Gram-positive and two Gra...

The aim of the present study was to determine and compare the seasonal changes in the proximate composition, fatty acids profile and fat soluble vitamins content in spring and autumn goby (Neogobius melanostomus) caught from the Bulgarian Black Sea waters. The proximate composition (moisture, protein and total lipid) has been determined according to AOAC (1990).  Analysis of fatty acid methyl e...

lipids play an important role in maintaining human health. thermal process cause to changes in nutritional value as well as changes in the profile of fatty acids in fish. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of frying on chemical composition and profile of fatty acids is fish shaary. for doing this project, 10 kg of the fish were purchased from the market of behbahan and with ice we...

Recent physical studies on the lipids of biological membranes have emphasized the potential instability of the lamellar phase of mixtures of lipids containing unsaturated species of phosphatidylethanolamine, plasmenylethanolamine, or monoglycosyldiacylglycerols, all of which are important constituents of the membranes of different groups of prokaryotes. The polar lipid compositions of bacteria ...

Oxygen, a key nutrient in alcoholic fermentation, is rapidly depleted during this process. Several pathways of oxygen utilization have been reported in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae during alcoholic fermentation, namely synthesis of unsaturated fatty acid, sterols and heme, and the mitochondrial electron transport chain. However, the interaction between these pathways has not been investig...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Fatty acids acutely stimulate GLP-1 secretion from L-cells in vivo. However, a high fat diet has been shown to reduce the density of L-cells in the mouse intestine and a positive correlation has been indicated between L-cell number and GLP-1 secretion. Thus, the mechanism of fatty acid-stimulated GLP-1 secretion, potential effects of long-term exposure to elevated levels of d...

Bitter melon (Colocynth) is a species of herbs, annual medicinal plant of family Cucurbitaceae which are mainly grown in warm regions of Iran. Fatty acids of the seeds of this plant are considered as important materials, medicinally. In this study, essential fatty acids of seed collected from nine different regions of Iran were evaluated. The composition of fatty acids such as oleic, linoleic, ...
