dietary factors are suggested to be involved in recent increases in the prevalence of asthma. the differences in dietary intake of 23 asthmatic and 317 non-asthmatic students were investigated, who were chosen by multistage stratified cluster sampling. the dietary data were assessed by food frequency questionnaire and a 24-h recall form. total calorie and fat intake were similar. daily intake o...

different layers of acorn (quercus infectoria), hull, seed coat and seed kernel were analyzed for determination of chemical composition. the results of the preliminary analysis showed that acorn contained more than 65% carbohydrates, 8% lipid and 10% tannin among other constituents. the fatty acid composition of the seed oil was determined using thin layer chromatography and comparing with ...

When human erythrocytes were incubated in vitro with (14)C-labeled free fatty acids bound to serum albumin, labeled fatty acids were incorporated into erythrocyte triglycerides and phospholipids. The first step in this reaction was the transfer of free fatty acids from the albumin to the cells. This transfer was rapid and reversible. The acids were distributed between albumin and cells accordin...

1. The turnover of plasma glucose and free fatty acids was measured in ten patients within 24 h of the onset of symptoms of acute myocardial infarction and in two with symptoms of acute myocardial ischaemia. The measurements were repeated in seven of the patients 12-40 weeks after the acute episode. 2. Both for the patients with acute myocardial infarction alone and for all the individuals stud...

Background Previous studies have reported inconsistent findings regarding the efficacy of omega-3 fatty acids on pregnant women with major depressive disorder (MDD). This meta-analysis was conducted to systematically evaluate the clinical applicability of omega-3 fatty acids in treating depression in pregnant women. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared omega-3 fatty acids ...

Food Sci., 35: 214–222. In this paper, free amino acids, fatty acids, and phenolic compounds in buckwheat of different hull colour were quantified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectro...

BACKGROUND In cell systems, saturated fatty acids, compared to unsaturated fatty acids, induce a greater degree of ER stress and inflammatory signaling in a number of cell types, including hepatocytes and adipocytes. The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of infusions of lard oil (enriched in saturated fatty acids) and soybean oil (enriched in unsaturated fatty acids) on live...

The disruption of the milk fat globule membrane can lead to an excessive accumulation of free fatty acids in milk, which is frequently associated with the appearance of rancid flavors. Solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography techniques have been shown to be useful tools in the quantification of individual free fatty acids in dairy products providing enough sensitivity to detect level...
