Biodiesel production from coconut oil
Biodiesel production processes using coconut oil containing a relatively high content of free fatty acids (4.5% w/v and higher) have been characterized using alkali, acid and enzymatic- based catalysts. The use of ethanol (molar ratio of 3:1 of ethanol:triglycerides) instead of methanol was …

Characterization of coconut oil and CLA induced lipolysis
… body fat loss is enhanced when mice are fed coconut oil (CO). The objectives were to determine if the CLA-induced lipolysis in different oil source-fed mice was time-dependent and to determine the effect of cell signaling inhibitors on CO+CLA-induced lipolysis. Study 1: Male mice (ICR; n=80; …

Effect of Coconut Oil on Ulcerative Colitis in the Mouse Model
… This study describes the effect of natural coconut oil on chemically-induced acute and chronic disease in mice. Ulcerative colitis was induced in four groups (5 mice per group) of 10-week-old female C57BL/6 mice by exposing them to 2.5-3% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) for 5 and 29 days in the …

The Impact of Trade Liberalization on the Indonesian Palm Oil and Coconut Oil Markets
In general, palm oil producers and crude palm oil exporters benefitted from the removal of the export tax. The government lost tax revenues and palm oil consumers suffered accordingly. However, the reduction in welfare to consumers was rather small due to an increase in the substitution between …

Breakdown characteristic of palm oil and coconut oil under AC and DC voltage with different moisture rate
Oils acts as insulation and cooling agent in the transformer. Petroleum-based oils are widely used in transformers due to their qualified properties as good insulation materials. Unfortunately, the used of petroleum-based oils has adverse effects on environment in the event of any failure to …

Estrogen replacement in ovariectomized rats fed safflower oil, coconut oil or cocoa butter: the effects on blood lipids and lipoproteins
… were fed, for 56 days, diets containing 23% coconut oil, safflower oil or cocoa butter. All diets contained 0.5% cholesterol and 0.5% sodium glycotaurocholate. During the last 28 days of feeding, half the ovariectomized rats received, orally, 30 μg of Premarin per day while other rats …

Inclusion of Olive or Coconut Oil in a High-Fructose High-Fat Diet Increases Liver Injury in a Pig Model of Pediatric NAFLD
… dietary lard by an isocaloric amount of olive or coconut oil on endpoints of NAFLD. Thirty-eight 15-d-old Iberian pigs housed in pens balanced for weight and sex were randomly assigned to receive 1 of 3 hypercaloric high-fructose high-fat (HFF) diets for 10 weeks: 1) lard (LAR; n=5 pens), 2) lard …

Production of Polyhydroxyalkanoates by Pseudomonas mendocina using vegetable oils and their characterisation
… Pseudomonas mendocina, using different vegetable oils such as, coconut oil, groundnut oil, corn oil and olive oil, as the sole carbon source was investigated for the first time. The PHA yield obtained was compared with that obtained during the production of PHAs using sodium octanoate as the sole …

Modulation of Hepatic Lipid Metabolism by Dietary Fats in Neonatal Pigs: Implications for Steatotic Liver Disease
… sources and found that laurate/myristate-rich coconut oil exacerbated steatosis and lipogenesis, while caprylate/caprate-rich medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil was hepatoprotective, despite no measurable increase in oxidation. In Study III, we tested animal- and plant-based formula fats and …

The identification and characterization of two murine genes regulated by the level of dietary fat
… fed diets containing 0, 5, 10, 15 or 20% corn oil showed a significant dose-dependent decrease in Scd1 mRNA abundance. Increasing the concentrations of dietary fat from 0-5% to 10, 15 or 20% significantly ($P<$ 0.05) decreased Scd1 mRNA by 50%, 75%, and 82%, respectively. The time course of …

ROLE OF OXYTOCIN AND OXYTOCINASE IN THE MATERNAL RECOGNITION OF PREGNANCY
… effect of intrauterine administration of plant oils, such as coconut oil, on equine luteal function. A previous report using intrauterine infusion of a bioidentical coconut oil, product prolonged luteal function. The infusion of coconut oil during diestrus shortened the luteal phase in the mare, …
