Information concerning the metabolism of trans isomers of dietary unsaturated fatty acids is presented. Dietary trans-octadecenoic and trans,trans-octadecadienoic acids are apparently absorbed, activated, oxidized, and acylated into ester lipids much like saturated fatty acids although differences have been observed with regard to their metabolism by different organs. Because of the important r...

The cadmium atom in the title compound, [Cd(C(7)H(4)NO(4))(2)(C(6)H(6)N(2)O)(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·2H(2)O, lies on a center of inversion in an all-trans octa-hedral environment. In the crystal, the complex inter-acts with the uncoordinated water mol-ecules through O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a layered network.

To determine trans fatty acid (TFA) distribution of contemporary foods, especially regarding individual trans octadecenoic acids (trans C18:1), 339 German foods of six categories (semi-solid fats, deep-fried potato products, bakery products, confectioneries, instant products and butter) were analysed using two GC methods. Results showed a high variation of TFA content between and within the cat...

INTRODUCTION There is a paucity of systematic research in the area of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in trans people. AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of NSSI in trans people and the associations with intra- and interpersonal problems. METHODS Participants were 155 untreated individuals with a diagnosis of transsexualism (according to International Classification...

Translational efficiency is subject to extensive regulation. However, the factors influencing such regulation are poorly understood. In Caenorhabditis elegans, 62% of genes are trans-spliced to a specific spliced leader (SL1), which replaces part of the native 5' untranslated region (5' UTR). Given the pivotal role the 5' UTR plays in the regulation of translational efficiency, we hypothesized ...

7-Fluorobenz(a)anthracene (7-FBA) was metabolized by rat liver microsomes predominantly to 4-hydroxy-7-FBA and 7-FBA trans-3,4-, 5,6-, 8,9-, and 10,11-dihydrodiols. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectral analyses indicated that the fluoro substituent causes 7-FBA trans-5,6- and 8,9-dihydrodiols to adopt preferentially quasidiaxial conformations (Chiu, P.-L., Fu, P. P., and Yang, S. K. Bioch...

Cultures of ruminal bacteria known to metabolize unsaturated fatty acids were grown in medium containing 50 microg ml(-1) of geometric and positional isomers of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) or 18 : 1 fatty acids and 37.4 % deuterium oxide to investigate the mechanisms responsible for fatty acid metabolism. Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens JW11 converted cis-9,trans-11-18 : 2 and trans-9,trans-11-18 ...

BACKGROUND Trans fatty acids are produced either by industrial hydrogenation or by biohydrogenation in the rumens of cows and sheep. Industrial trans fatty acids lower HDL cholesterol, raise LDL cholesterol, and increase the risk of coronary heart disease. The effects of conjugated linoleic acid and trans fatty acids from ruminant animals are less clear. We reviewed the literature, estimated th...
