Fatty acid metabolism of marine microalgae
Pathways for the biosynthesis of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and other polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) were elucidated in two heterotrophic, marine microalgae; Schizochytrium sp. and Crypthecodinium cohnii. PUFA-requiring auxotrophs of both of these algae were created and used as tools for …

Volatile Fatty Acid Production in Ruminants
Volatile fatty acids (VFA) are important products of ruminal fermentation. The VFA are not only the major source of energy to the ruminant animals but also influence methane production in the rumen. Therefore it is important to understand mechanism controlling VFA production and to depict VFA …

EFFECT OF LIPID SUPPLEMENTATION ON RUMINAL EPITHELIAL MEMBRANE FATTY ACID COMPOSITION AND SHORT-CHAIN FATTY ACID ABSORPTION
… depending on the type of lipid, may alter the fatty acid (FA) composition of tissues. Effects of dietary lipid on the digestive and immune function gastrointestinal tract have been evaluated, but effects on how dietary FA affect short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) absorption have not been …

Genomic Organization of Fatty Acid Desaturase-2 (Fad2 ) and Fatty Acid Desaturase-6 (Fad6) ESTs in Maize
… palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic and linolenic fatty acids. Increased levels of oleic acid may enhance the nutritional and functional value of corn oil. The biochemical pathway for fatty acid biosynthesis indicates that a single enzyme, the delta12 desaturase, converts oleic (18: 1) to linoleic …

Biosynthesis of Long-chain Fatty Acid Amides
The vast variety of long-chain fatty acid amides identified in biological systems is intriguing. The general structure of a fatty acid amide is R-CO-NH-X, where R is an alkyl group and X is derived from an immense variety of biogenic amines. Although structurally simple, the bioactivities of these …

OMEGA-3 FATTY ACID SUPPLEMENTATION AND SLEEP
Previous research has found omega-3 fatty acid supplementation advantageous in reducing depressive symptoms. One of the central diagnostic symptoms of depression is sleep disturbance. Accordingly, this study was designed to examine the effects of omega-3 fatty acid on self-reported insomnia. It was …

Regulation of Highly Unsaturated Fatty Acid Metabolism
… are considered as the main regulators of fatty acid oxidation and synthesis, respectively, including metabolism of highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs). The objective of the first project was to investigate functional differences of PPARalpha between species. PPARalpha is essential for …

Fatty Acid Regulation of NLRP3 Inflammasome Activity
… such as type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, and fatty liver disease, are driven by sterile tissue inflammation that is driven in part by the NLRP3 inflammasome. This macromolecular complex responds to diverse danger signals by inducing secretion of inflammatory IL-1 family cytokines and promoting …

Design characteristics for byproduct fatty acid recovery
… order to determine the characteristics of crude fatty acids, recovered from the resin soap wastes of kraft pulp manufacture, so that efficient distillation units may be designed for distillation of the crude fatty acids. It was found that the crude fatty acids could be distilled at a maximum …

Optimization of spodumene flotation with fatty acid collectors
… stemming from insolubility of the tall oil fatty acid (TOFA) collectors. Studies from the 1960s first reported that high density conditioning improved TOFA flotation performance, but collector properties and adsorption behaviour throughout conditioning remain poorly understood. Based on …

Fatty Acid Auxotrophy in Drosophila Larvae Lacking SREBP
… lipid stores. Growing larvae must accumulate fatty acids to permit the synthesis of these lipids. Interestingly, wild type Drosophila can grow in the complete absence of exogenous fatty acids. This dissertation reports the finding that a lipogenic transcription factor, dSREBP (Drosophila …

Polyunsaturated fatty acid requirements of murine colon adenocarcinomas
The polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) requirements of three transplantable murine colon adenocarcinomas, the MAC13, MAC16 and MAC26, were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. When serum concentrations became growth limiting in vitro, proliferation of the MAC13 and MAC26 cell lines was stimulated by …

Fatty Acid and Biotin Metabolism in Escherichia Coli
Biotin which is essential for the synthesis of fatty acids in E. coli is thought to be derived from a modified fatty acid pathway. In experiments used to verify this hypothesis I discovered a new intermediate in biotin synthesis. This intermediate `X', was purified from the spent growth medium of …
