I . The fatty acid compositions of the plasma cholesteryl esters, phospholipids, triglycerides and unesterified fatty acids were determined in three sheep at various times after they had been given intra-abomasal infusions of emulsions of linseed oil, maize oil or linoleic acid. 2. The concentrations of linolenic acid or linoleic acid in the plasma triglycerides began to increase 1.5 h after in...

BACKGROUND Dietary fatty acids may be associated with diabetes but are difficult to measure accurately. OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the associations of fatty acids in plasma and diet with diabetes incidence. DESIGN This was a prospective case-cohort study of 3737 adults aged 36-72 y. Fatty acid intake (/kJ) and plasma phospholipid fatty acids (%) were measured at baseline, and diabete...

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and CLA isomers, present naturally in dairy meat products, are the natural functional components. Ruminal microorganisms, such as Butyrivibrio fibrosolvens, lactic bacteria (LAB), propionibacteria can convert (LA) to CLA. In this study, effect of different concentrations (0, 0.5, 1, 2%) storage time 2, 7, 14 21 days) on content kefir was investigated. The highest ...

White button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporous) are a potential breast cancer chemopreventive agent, as they suppress aromatase activity and estrogen biosynthesis. Therefore, we evaluated the activity of mushroom extracts in the estrogen receptor–positive/aromatase-positive MCF-7aro cell line in vitro and in vivo . Mushroom extract decreased testosterone-induced cell proliferation in MCF-7aro cells...

Obesity is an increasingly serious health problem in the United States, as it is responsible for serious health problems and death. Obesity is linked to ingestion of dietary fats, therefore the identification of a component of dietary fats that may increase ingestion by orosensory stimulation represents a critically important step towards controlling fat intake. Fat is composed of a combination...

The importance of the plyunsaturated fatty acid in milk in the growth of nurslings needs no further mention. According to Bosworth et al.(1), arachidonic but no linoleic and linolenic acids are present in the polyunsaturated fatty acid of milk-fat. However, Hilditch et al.(2) reported that milk-fat contains linoleic acid at a level of 5%. Riemenschneider et al.(3) reported that the arachidonic ...

freckles and pigmented acne scars, are of serious concern to women. Their treatment usually involves the use of medicines or medicinal cosmetics containing depigmenting agents or skin-whitening agents. For example, hydroquinone and 4methoxyphenol are used as topical therapies for hyperpigmentation disorders. Active ingredients available for medicated whitening cosmetics in Japan include vitamin...

Lipid and lipid metabolite profiling are important parameters in understanding the pathogenesis of many diseases. Alkynylated polyunsaturated fatty acids are potentially useful probes for tracking the fate of fatty acid metabolites. The nonenzymatic and enzymatic oxidations of ω-alkynyl linoleic acid and ω-alkynyl arachidonic acid were compared to that of linoleic and arachidonic acid. There wa...
