Extruded Blend of Soybean Meal and Sunflower Seeds for Dairy Cattle in Early Lactation
… Milk from cows fed SSF contained fewer short and medium chain fatty acids, more 18-carbon fatty acids, and was more unsaturated than from cows fed SBM. Intakes of dry matter and changes in body weight were not different between diets. Ruminal fluid pH and molar ratio of acetate to propionate were …

UNCOVERING THE MOLECULAR BASIS FOR FATTY ACID SYNTHASE PRODUCT SPECIFICITY: STRUCTURAL AND KINETIC EVALUATION OF THIOESTERASE I AND THIOESTERASE II
Fatty acid synthase (FASN) is a multifunctional homodimeric enzyme solely responsible for the synthesis long chain fatty acids (LCFAs) de novo. Fatty acids, and their lipid derivatives, are critical components of all cellular biological processes, including energy storage and utilization, membrane …

Hepatic Lipid metabolism in Neonatal Pigs
Medium chain-fatty acids (MCFA) are a group of fatty acids containing hydrocarbon chains between 6-12 carbons. They are rapidly absorbed and taken up by cells which has led to their incorporation into neonatal formulas as an alternative source of energy. While abundant literature is available on …

Lactational Response of Cows Fed Condensed Corn Distillers Solubles
… was increased (P<.01) when cows were fed CCDS. Medium-chain fatty acids (FA) of milk fat were decreased (P<.01) and long-chain increased (P<.01) when feeding CCDS diets versus control, and further changes at the same magnitude of probability were found comparing high to low CCDS level. …

The supercritical fluid extraction and chromatographic analysis of fatty acids in blue cheese
… Roquefort cheese is largely due to the short and medium chain fatty acids, methyl ketones and secondary alcohols. The free fatty acids contribute flavor themselves and are also precursors of methyl ketones. Lipase action during the cheese ripening leads to formation of free fatty acids (FFA). The …

Pengaruh konsentrasi sari buah pepaya (Carica papaya) dan lama pemeraman terhadap kualitas dan kuantitas minyak kelapa (Cocos nucifera var. Viridis)
… sebagai minyak berantai karbon sedang (medium chain fatty acids, MCFA). Keunggulan asam lemak rantai sedang dibandingkan dengan asam lemak rantai panjang yaitu asam lemak rantai sedang lebih mudah dicerna dan diserap. Minyak kelapa yang dihasilkan dengan cara basah konvensional …

Effects of carnitine on medium-chain fatty acid metabolism in newborn pigs
Metabolism of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) is considered to be independent of carnitine because of their passive diffusion into the mitochondrion. However, upon feeding medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) to piglets (n = 16) followed by serial blood sampling, we observed significant changes in free …

The Association Between Hepatic Steatosis and Glucose Metabolic Dysfunction
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a growing global concern especially in Western countries, primarily resulting from poor nutritional habits. This disorder can manifest as early as the neonatal period suggesting that even in that period nutrition may play a role. While previous reports …

Branched-Chain Amino Acid Metabolism in the Neonatal Pig
Branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) are a group of essential amino acids consisting of leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Leucine, in particular, has signaling functions affecting protein and energy metabolism. Plasma leucine concentration is positively correlated with obesity and associated metabolic …

Feasibility of a Dietary Intervention Using Coconut Oil on Cognition and Quality of Life in Older Adults: Randomised Controlled Pilot study.
… Impairment (MCI). Previous studies have used Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) and ketogenic diets as a source of ketone bodies to improve cognitive functions in older adults with MCI or Alzheimer’s disease. However, the current study relies on the consumption of the whole food component …

Use of directed evolution to generate multiple-stress tolerant Oenococcus oeni for enhanced malolactic fermentation
… and Red Fermented Chemically Defined Grape Juice Medium (RFCDGJM). A90 showed a similar viability in RFCDGJM compared to its parent, SB3, indicating the need for further improvement. With the success of the previous proof-of-concept directed evolution (DE) in O. oeni, a new DE was carried out to …

Stearoyl-COA Desaturase Gene Transcription, mRNA, And Activity In Response To Trans-Vaccenic Acid And Conjugated Linoleic Acid Isomers
… compared with other treatments. However, total fatty acid content of mammary tissue was reduced only when compared with TVA. In the second experiment, lactating mice were fed 3% canola oil (OA), or 2% OA plus 1% SA, 1% TVA, 1% 9/11CLA, or 1% 10/12CLA. Dietary TVA, 9/11CLA, and 10/12CLA decreased …

Composition and Flavor of Milk and Cheddar Cheese from Cows Fed Unsaturated Dietary Fat
… in fats, particularly diets lower in saturated fatty acids. For consumption of hard cheeses to increase at previous levels, dairy processors may have to offer cheeses to consumers that are lower in fat and/or saturated fatty acids. Fatty acid composition of milk fat can be influenced by several …

Evaluation of high intensity ultrasound on plant based lipid blends, containing health-promoting lipids, as an alternative to hydrogenation for plastic fat development
… of these new shortening formulations, such as medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) and endogenous antioxidants. Due to their small size, MCFAs are more soluble and are absorbed without the use of bile, then readily oxidized by the liver. They are commonly consumed by individuals with fat …

Modifying Fatty Acid Composition of Bovine Milk by Abomasal Infusion or Dietary Supplementation of Seed Oils or Fish Oil
… and linoleic acid (18:2) content and lowering medium chain fatty acid (MCFA) content of bovine milk was investigated by abomasal infusion or dietary supplementation of oils. In experiment 1, olive oil, sesame oil, sunflower oil, or fish oil was abomasally infused (155 to 219 g/d) into Jersey …

EVALUATION OF PHARMACEUTICAL AND COSMETIC USE OF EXCIPIENTS OBTAINED FROM CITRUS PROCESSING WASTE PRODUCTS
… extract was predominantly composed of long and medium-chain fatty acids with 70 % saturated and 30 % unsaturated acids. ATR-FTIR spectroscopy suggested that the extract appeared to be primarily composed of waxes and, to a lesser extent, free fatty acids. Since waxes are among the most used …

Modulation of Hepatic Lipid Metabolism by Dietary Fats in Neonatal Pigs: Implications for Steatotic Liver Disease
… steatosis develops as early as day 7 in pigs fed medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA)-rich formulas and rapidly progresses to steatohepatitis by day 14, independent of whole-body adiposity. In Study Ib, we identified a paradoxical metabolic state characterized by simultaneous upregulation of lipolytic …
