The oilseed crops Crambe abyssinica and Camelina sativa produce oils rich in erucic acid n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), respectively. After pressing the oil, a seed cake remains as protein-rich by-product. Edible insects may convert this press defatted meal produced from it into insect biomass suitable for animal feed. Black soldier fly larvae (BSF, Hermetia illucens) can grow on wide ...

The effect of four different dates sowing on oil content and fatty acid composition was studied using eleven rapeseed Indian mustard varieties at Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi. Effects species, maturity duration (early, timely late sown) environment (different sowing) the observed. results indicate specific, genotypic variation as well response to environment, resulting from strong...

ABCD2 (D2) is a peroxisomal transporter that is highly abundant in adipose tissue and promotes the oxidation of long-chain MUFA. Erucic acid (EA, 22:1ω9) reduces very long chain saturated fatty acids in patients with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy but promotes dyslipidemia and dilated cardiomyopathy in rats. To determine the role of D2 in the metabolism of EA, we challenged wild-type and D2 defi...

In recent years, questions have been raised on the possible semi-endogenous status of the alleged xenobiotic thyreostatic drug thiouracil; thiouracil has been detected in the urine of various animals (livestock and domesticated) at concentrations between 1 and 10 μg L(-1) and also in human urine. Although several studies suggest Brassicaceae-derived feed as potential origin, no traces of thiour...

Abstract The objective of this study was to characterize the chemical composition in extracts atemoya (var. Thompson) seed oil by spectrometric methods. following extraction methods were performed: using hexane, mechanical a press, and partitioned extraction. each analysed gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), more than 100 compounds identified. major constituents hexane (Z)-hexadec-9-e...

PURPOSE pancreatic adenocarcinoma is the fourth leading cause of cancer related deaths due to its aggressive behavior and poor clinical outcome. There is a considerable variability in the frequency of serum tumor markers in cancer' patients. We performed a metabolomics screening in patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Two targeted metabolomic assays were conducted on...

A putative yeast sn-2 acyltransferase gene (SLC1-1), reportedly a variant acyltransferase that suppresses a genetic defect in sphingolipid long-chain base biosynthesis, has been expressed in a yeast SLC deletion strain. The SLC1-1 gene product was shown in vitro to encode an sn-2 acyltransferase capable of acylating sn-1 oleoyl-lysophosphatidic acid, using a range of acyl-CoA thioesters, includ...

Fatty acid elongase 1 (FAE1) and delta-12 fatty desaturase 2 (FAD2) are two key enzymes in plant biosynthesis pathway. Five different types of transgenic lines with identical genetic background were developed by single double-expression regulation the genes coding for these same  Brassica napus  variety CY2. Seeds five wild-type control, which planted under same environmental conditio...
