(1) The characteristics of the lipids (acetone-soluble lipid, lecithin, cephalin and sphingolipid) obtained from barracuda, Sphyraena pinguis GUNTHER, were studied from the view point of fat metabolism of fish. (2) Forty-one fresh sample fish caught in the Komekami fishing ground near Odawara City (west part of Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan) on the 4th of October, 1959, were extracted with acetone...

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) refers to the positional and geometric dienoic isomers of linoleic acid. The dietary intake of CLA has been associated with changes in lipid metabolism. The aim of the present work was to assess the effects of the two main isomers of CLA on sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP)-1a and SREBP-1c mRNA levels, as well as on mRNA levels and the activities o...

conjugated linoleic acids (cla) are natural constituents of meat and dairy products from ruminants, originating from bacterial biohydrogenation in the rumen. cla supplementation increases the health benefits of animal-derived foods. there are inconsistent reports of the effects of dietary cla on chicken’s performance; however, the majority of previous reports cite anti-lipogenic effects of cla....

background: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of conjugated lino-leic acid (cla) on apoptosis of tachyzoites of t . gondii , rh strain (type i) and the cyst-forming tehran strain (type ii) in vitro. methods: toxoplasma strains were injected into the peritoneal cavity of balb/c mice. the tehran strain forms cysts in the brain of mice. bradyzoites within the cysts are reactivated ...

background: reactive oxygen species (ros) have important role in the etiology and pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (ra). we investigated the effect of conjugated linoleic acids (clas) and vitamin e on lipid peroxidation. methods: in a randomized, double-blind placebo, controlled, clinical trial 87 patients with active ra were enrolled. they were divided into 4 groups, received one of the fo...

two experiments studied the effects of canola or sunflower seed supplementation on conjugated linoleic acid (cla) concentration in milk fat of lactating cows. in each experiment, only eight cows in early lactation were available to assign to one of two treatments in a completely randomized design and were fed individually for 12 wk. experiment 1 compared similar diets with or without the additi...

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a group of positional and geometric isomers of conjugated dienoic derivatives of linoleic acid. The present study was designed to determine whether 14-week CLA supplementation as triacylglycerols (3.76 g) with a 50 : 50 combination of the two main isomers (35 % cis-9, trans-11 and 35 % trans-10, cis-12) added to flavoured yoghurt-like products was able to alter...

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a naturally occurring group of dienoic derivatives of linoleic acid found in the fat of beef and other ruminants. CLA is reported to have effects on both tumor development and body fat in animal models. To further characterize the metabolic effects of CLA, male AKR/J mice were fed a high-fat (45 kcal%) or low-fat (15 kcal%) diet with or without CLA (2.46 mg/kca...

Hydrophobic Interaction. (6Z,9Z)-Pentadecadienol. Soybean Lipoxygenase, Substrate Specificity Substrate specificity of soybean lipoxygenase-1 (EC 1.13.11.12) was studied using as synthetic substrate analogs an entire series of (co-6 Z,co-9 Z)-Cl3~C 2(rdienoic acids and (co-6Z,co-9Z)Cl2~ C 2(i-dienols. The relative activity of lipoxygenase-1 against linoleic acid (C|S2COOH) was the highest among...

A newly synthesized 13-aza derivative of prostanoic acid (13-APA) specifically inhibited human platelet aggregation induced by arachidonic acid, prostaglandin H2, or the stable endoperoxide analog (15S)-hydroxy-9 alpha,11 alpha-)epoxymethano)-prosta-5Z,13E-dienoic acid. 13-APA also inhibited [14C]serotonin release in response to arachidonic acid, ADP, or thrombin, but did not inhibit primary ag...
