After publication of this manuscript [1], we noted that one of the monounsaturated fatty acid isomers had been mislabelled in the results, and in Figure 2A and Table 2. In the Results and discussion, the sentence, “Concerning plasma MUFA levels, long-chain MUFA C20:1 (n-9 and n-7) and C22:1 (n-11 and n-9) peaked at 2 hr postingestion (Figure 2a and b)” should read, “Concerning plasma MUFA level...

The objective of present study was to examine the effect of long-chain monounsaturated fatty acids (LC-MUFAs) with chain lengths longer than 18 (i.e., C20:1 and C22:1 isomers combined) on obesity-related metabolic dysfunction and its molecular mechanisms. Type-2 diabetic KK-A mice (n = 20) were randomly assigned to the 7% soybean oil-diet group (control group) and 4% LC-MUFA concentrate-supplem...

N-3 trans geometrical isomers of 20:5 n-3 and 22:6 n-3 were isolated from rats fed heated linseed oil. The ability of these acids to inhibit 20:4 n-6 metabolism by human platelets was examined. The concentrations required to inhibit 50% of platelet aggregation (IC50) induced by 2.5 microM 20:4 n-6 were higher for the 20:5 delta 17t isomer compared to all cis 20:5 n-3; means 29.2 and 7.6 microM,...

In this study, we have employed graphene oxide as a matrix to simultaneously and directly quantify serum nonesterified and esterified fatty acids (FAs) using matrix-assisted laser/desorption ionization-Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (MALDI-FTICR MS). Twelve serum nonesterified FAs combined with their individual esterified FAs (i.e., C16:0, C16:1, C18:0, C18:1, C18:2...

the nitrite ® nitro isomerization in nitritopentaamine cobalt (iii) halides has been known. in this paper, the effect of the size of the counter ions (noncoordinated groups) on the rate of isomerization in nitritopentaamine cobalt (iii) halides, is reported. the rate of isomerization is decreased by increasing the size of the counter ions. this decrease is explained on the basis of steric inter...

The majority of research has focused on the association between trans unsaturated fatty acids (TUFA) from hydrogenated vegetable oils and heart disease even though TUFA are also produced from hydrogenated fish oil. We compared the acute effect of three solid fats on postprandial cholesterol, triacylglycerol (TAG) and NEFA concentrations in normocholesterolaemic males. Eight healthy male volunte...
