The new norisoprenoid 3beta-hydroxy-5alpha,6alpha-epoxy-beta-ionone-2alpha-O-beta-d-glucopyranoside (1) and the long-chain hydroxy fatty acids 9,12,13-trihydroxyoctadeca-10(E),15(Z)-dienoic acid (2) and 9,12,13-trihydroxyoctadeca-10(E)-dienoic acid (3) were isolated from Salsola tetrandra aerial parts, together with 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl-beta-d-glucopyranoside (4), 9-hydroxylinaloyl glucoside ...

Starch, especially its amylose component, is well-known to form inclusion complexes with a variety of small molecules such as fatty acids. The structure the lipid guest could affect complexation ability and other properties thermal stability. present study aimed investigate physicochemical high maize starch (HAMS) C18 acids various numbers positions double bonds, including octadecanoic (stearic...

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a group of positional and geometric isomers of conjugated dienoic derivatives of linoleic acid. CLA has been reported to be able to reduce body fat. In this study, we investigated the antidiabetic effect of fermented milk (FM) containing CLA on type II diabetes db/db mice. Mice were treated with 0.2% low FM, 0.6% high FM, or Glimepiride (GLM) for 6 wk. Our resu...

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a group of positional and geometric isomers of conjugated dienoic derivatives of linoleic acid. The major dietary source of CLA for humans is ruminant meats, such as beef and lamb, and dairy products, such as milk and cheese. The major isomer of CLA in natural food is cis-9,trans-11 (c9,t11). The commercial preparations contain approximately equal amounts of c9...

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a collective term for a mixture of positional and geometric isomers of conjugated dienoic derivatives of linoleic acid. CLA has received considerable attention as a result of animal experiments that report anti-carcinogenic, anti-atherogenic and anti-diabetic properties, and modulation of body composition and immune function. Several studies of CLA supplementat...

A series of new conjugated metal-free organic dyes (TC1, TC2, TC3, and TC4) comprising triphenylamine (TPA) moieties as the electron donor and cyanoacetic acid moieties as the electron acceptor/anchoring groups were designed at the molecular level and developed for the use in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). Quantum chemical calculations have been performed to gain insight into structural, el...

The pre-steady-state phase of the oxygenase reaction of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase with cis,cis-eicosa-11, 14-dienoic acid has been studied using stopped flow techniques. Because some intermediate forms of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase are spectrally indistinguishable, the enzyme and substrate transformations were monitored in parallel to simplify the interpretation of the kineti...

The 8000 X g pellet of rabbit placenta transformed arachidonic acid into a number of lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase products of known structure. A metabolite was also produced which was inhibited by indomethacin and required calcium for its formation. This compound had a UV absorption maximum at 227 nm under acidic or neutral conditions and gave a bathochromic shift to 281 nm under alkaline co...

A variety of thiol compounds inhibited the enzymatic bis-oxygenation of 8,11,14-eicosatrienoic acid to prostaglandin G1, as examined with a purified preparation of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthetase (prostaglandin synthase; 8,11,14-eicosatrienoate, hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase; EC 1.14.99.1) from bovine vesicular gland. The hydroperoxide cleavage of prostaglandin G1 producing prostag...
