Plant-based n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) possess a prospective antiatherogenic potential. Currant oil from Ribes nigrum L. is one of the few plant oils containing PUFAn-3 (15.3 mol%) in addition to PUFAn-6 (60.5 mol%). This study was aimed at comparing the effects of currant oil with those of lard fat, rich in saturated (43.8 mol%) and monounsaturated (47.0 mol%) fatty acids, on antio...

Introduction and Aim: Historically lipid profile has been used to evaluate hyperlipidemia. More recently ratios have particularly in studies from the west. The aim of this study is dyslipidemia using both conventional assess its relationship with fatty liver disease. Materials Methods: Fasting profile, such as Castelli Risk Index-I (CR-I TC/HDL), Index II (CR-II LDL/HDL), atherogenic coefficien...

We evaluated the digestibility of plant oils and their influence on growth fatty acid composition in common carp. Apparent coefficients (ADC) lipids were determined carp (200.2 ± 40.0g) fed with cod liver oil (CLO), linseed (LO), sunflower (SFO), or sesame (SO). A 96-day trial was then conducted using six isolipidic (from 100 to 101 g/kg diet) diets, namely CLO, LO, SFO, SO, two blends (SLO = S...

A patient died after gastric surgery for morbid obesity. Necropsy showed severe fatty liver, and biochemical analysis of hepatic lipids showed unusually high free fatty acid concentrations, which may have contributed to the hepatic failure.

This study analyzed the effects of 24 h cold stress (22°C or 5°C vs. mice maintained at 30 °C) on plasma, brown adipose tissue (BAT), subcutaneous (SubQ) and epididymal (Epi) white (WAT), liver, skeletal muscle lipidome mice. Using mass spectrometry-lipidomics, 624 lipid species were detected, which 239 significantly altered in 134 BAT, 51 liver. In acylcarnitines free fatty acids markedly incr...

Investigating environmental pollution is important to understand its impact on endangered species such as green turtles (Chelonia mydas). In this study, we investigated the accumulation and potential toxicity of selected persistent organic pollutants (POPs) naturally occurring MeO-PBDEs in liver, fat, kidney muscle (n = 30) different gender, size, year death, location health status. Overall, PO...

• Tetrahydrocurcumin (THC) improves glucose and lipid metabolism disorders in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) mice. THC regulates the expression of oxidoreductase genes lipid-metabolizing enzyme NAFLD increases antioxidant capacity inhibits deposition HepG2 cells by activating NRF2 signaling pathway. Nonalcoholic is most common metabolic world. In this study we investigated effect tetr...

High concentrations of lipids in ascites fluid caused by peritoneal carcinomatosis have been described recently. Since their nature has not yet been clarified, we isolated ascitic lipids from 25 patients with various neoplasms for further characterization. After chromatography on Sephadex G-100 gels, the ascitic lipids were fractionated on a Biogel A-5m column in three peaks. The second and thi...

BACKGROUND An acute surplus of carbohydrates, and other substrates, can be converted and safely stored as lipids in adipocytes via de novo lipogenesis (DNL). However, in obesity, a condition characterized by chronic positive energy balance, DNL in non-adipose tissues may lead to ectopic lipid accumulation leading to lipotoxicity and metabolic stress. Indeed, DNL is dynamically recruited in live...

AIMS To examine whether co-administration of intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP) with antibiotics early in life may have a preventive role against metabolic syndrome (MetS) in mice. METHODS A total of 50 mice were allocated to four treatment groups after weaning. Mice were treated with azithromycin (AZT) ± IAP, or with no AZT ± IAP, for three intermittent 7-day cycles. After the last treatm...
