Hepatic cholesterol, triglyceride, and phospholipid concentrations, plasma cholesterol levels, cholesterol biosynthesis, and fatty acid patterns in plasma lipids and liver lipid fractions, have been studied in intact, gonadectomized, and hormone-treated gonadectomized male and female rats fed a fat-free diet, a control diet containing fat, and a diet containing cholesterol, to determine relatio...

UNLABELLED Global absence of myocardial 123I-15-(p-iodophenyl)-3-(R,S)-methyl pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) uptake is occasionally noted, and it reflects myocardial long-chain fatty acid uptake abnormality. CD36, a membrane glycoprotein expressed on platelet, monocyte and endothelial cells, may contribute to myocardial fatty acid transport, and its deficiency has been reported in a small subset of...

Authors of those selected for publication will receive prepublication proofs, and authors of the article cited in the letter will be invited to reply.

INTRODUCTION Omega-3 fatty acid, particularly in the form of fish oil, has a structural and biological role in various systems of the body. The auditory and nervous systems are both influenced by omega-3 fatty acids, with omega-3 deficiency having devastating effects on both systems. Numerous studies have attempted to investigate this further. This study aimed to evaluate neural conduction in n...

  In this study changes in fatty acids profile during frozen storage at -18°C of Cobia (Rachycentron canadum), caught from the Persian Gulf (Bandar Abbas) were studied. Changes in saturated fatty acids (SFAs), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), EPA+DHA/C16, n-3 PUFA/n-6 PUFA (n-3/n-6) and polyunsaturated fatty acids /saturated fatty acids (PUFA/SFA) were i...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of low-dose gamma irradiation (0, 1, 3 and 5 kGy) on fatty acid composition of Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fillet. Among all of the fatty acids, oleic acid (C18:1) (with mean 33.50±3.02 g/100 g fatty acids) and myristoleic acid (C14:1) (with mean 0.41±0.26 g/100 g fatty acids) were the most predominant and the lowest fatty acids in ...

Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency is the most frequently described metabolic disorder of fatty acid oxidation in humans. Acute episodes are usually characterized biochemically by the appearance of nonketotic dicarboxylic aciduria. In addition, other abnormal metabolites, such as suberylglycine, n-hexanoylglycine, 3-phenylpropionylglycine, and octanoylcarnitine, are excreted ...

The fatty acid composition in the lipids of six coccoid microalgae species ( ~ 2 îm in diameter) was investigated. In addition to analyses of ultrastructure and pigment content, lipid composition is shown to be a chem otaxonom ic tool in the classification of algae. The four species of Chiorococ­ cales (Chlorophyceae) — the marine species as well as the fresh water species, both kept in artific...

the aim of this study was to determine the fatty acid and mineral composition in bone of 3 pelagic fish: gold stripe sardine (sardinella gibbosa), anchovy kilka (clupeonella engrauliformis) and indian anchovy (stolephorus indicus). fatty acid profiles showed that total saturated fatty acid have no significant differences in 3 species. the content of total mono saturated fatty acids in anchovy k...
