The effect of prior exercise on postprandial lipaemia
… lipaemia (exaggerated elevation of the plasma triacylglycerol (TAG) concentration after intake of a fat-containing meal) is gaining recognition as an independent CHD risk factor. This thesis provides an overview of the effect that single bouts of exercise can exert on postprandial lipaemia. The …

The effect of dietary manipulation on the content and positional distribution of fatty acids including conjugated linoleic acid in the tissues of sheep
… adipose and liver tissues were determined. The triacylglycerol (TAG) fractions of the total lipid (TL) from the diaphragm, rib and SC adipose tissues were analyzed for FA composition and FA positional distribution. The phospholipid (PL) fractions of the TL were analyzed for FA composition. The …

Interplay of DGAT1, PDAT1 and DGAT2 Enzymes in Plant Triacylglycerol Assembly
… from acyl-CoA to diacylglycerol (DAG) forming triacylglycerol (TAG, a.k.a oils and fats). Most plants have at least two unrelated <em>DGAT</em> genes, <em>DGAT1</em> and <em>DGAT2.</em> Plants predominantly express only one during oil synthesis; the reason, however is not clear. A few studies …

Gene expression in a microspore-derived cell suspension culture of Brassica Napus exhibiting enhanced oil production
Triacylglycerol (TAG) production in the microspore derived (MD) cell suspension culture ofBrassica napus L. cv Jet Neuf was enhanced when the sucrose concentration in the growth medium was increased from 2 to 14 % (w/v). mRNA differential display by polymerase chain reaction was used to examine …

The impact of whey protein isolate on energy balance regulation
… of dietary challenge despite elevated plasma triacylglycerol (TAG) levels, suggesting reduced TAG storage. WPI reduced HFD-associated hypothalamic leptin and insulin receptor (IR) mRNA expression, and prevented HFD-associated reductions in adipose tissue IR and glucose transporter 4 …

Process design and modeling for the production of triacylglycerols (TAGs) in Rhodococcus opacus PD630
… and kinetics of the accumulation of triacylglycerols (TAGs) in cells. In this process, accumulation of TAG is stimulated when a carbon source is present in the medium in excess and the nitrogen source is limiting growth. Under controlled fermentation conditions the organism …

Rheological Properties of Peanut Paste and Characterization of Fat Bloom Formation in Peanut-Chocolate Confectionery
… of this study was to determine if differences in triacylglycerol (TAG) composition and rheological properties of high, medium, and normal oleic peanuts influence fat bloom formation. All three peanut varieties showed high concentrations of triolein. Normal oleic peanuts had a slightly higher …

The analysis of the non-volatile components of heated fatty acid esterified propoxylated glycerols
… 20%. EPG-08 oleate (modified low-to-noncaloric triacylglycerol (TAG)) reached 20% polymer formation after 33.0 hr, triolein (normal TAG) after 51.1 hr, EPG-08 linoleate (modified TAG) after 21.4 hr, trilinolein (normal TAG) after 22.8 hr, EPG-08 oleate with antioxidant after 22.8 hr, triolein …

Determination of the roles of the Trypanosoma brucei lipin homologue TbLpn
… of diacylglycerol (DAG), which is used to form triacylglycerol (TAG). TAG is then used to form phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylcholine (PC), which are major lipids that constitute the membrane of T.b. In order to better understand how TbLpn functions, we checked if it was …

Nervonic Acid-enriched Structured Lipids: Preparation, Encapsulation, Digestion and Storage Stability
… the superior bioavailability of PLs compared to triacylglycerol (TAG) or free fatty acids. This thesis elucidated the preparation and encapsulation of NA-enriched structured phospholipid (SPL), followed by the in vitro digestion and storage stability of encapsulated NA-enriched SPL. A preparation …

An Investigation into the Function of CDS2 in Phosphoinositide Synthesis in Murine Macrophages
… of certain molecular species of PA, DAG and triacylglycerol (TAG). To interrogate the changes in pathway activity that underlie these effects, mass spectrometry coupled with metabolic tracing techniques (<sup>13</sup>C-glucose and <sup>18</sup>O-H2O) were used. The results point to …

Evaluation of hydrothermal pretreatment and fermentation to improve lipid and ethanol production from corn germ meal
… had maximum oil concentration (9.7%), highest triacylglycerol (TAG) content of oil extracted from pretreated solids (71.6 %, w w-1 oil), and highest enzymatic recoveries of glucose and xylose (99.0% and 32.8%, w w-1 available glucose/xylose, respectively). LHW pretreatment improved lipid …

Investigating mechanisms of triacylglycerol synthesis induced by nitrogen depletion in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum and characterising its diacylglycerol acyltransferases and phospholipid: diacylglycerol acyl transferase
… tricornutum (P. tricornutum) to accumulate triacylglycerol (TAG) and synthesise the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) has led to interest in their development for biofuels and human nutrition. Nitrogen depletion is a well-studied experimental system …

The signal transduction of the adipokinetic hormone and regulation of energy metabolism in the cricket, Gryllus bimaculatus de Geer (Ensifera: Gryllidae)
… The fat body incorporates glycerol mainly into triacylglycerol (TAG) and almost exclusively into the backbone. AKH inhibits fatty acid (FA) synthesis but not the coupling of FAs with the glycerol backbone. Triacylglycerol lipase (TGL) from the fat body, in last larval instar and adult crickets, …
