THE ROLE OF BOTANICAL OILS ENRICHED IN FADS2-DERIVED N-3 VS. N-6 POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS IN PREVENTION OF ATHEROSCLEROSIS
Background: Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) reduce atherosclerosis in animal models and humans relative to dietary saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. Although some of the atheroprotection of dietary PUFAs is due to plasma lipid lowering, in vivo conversion of 18 carbon PUFAs …

Raman spectroscopic analysis of fatty acids in tumor micro- and macroenvironments in breast cancer
Fatty acids play essential roles in the growth and metastasis of cancer cells. To facilitate their avid growth and proliferation, cancer cells not only alter the fatty acid synthesis and metabolism intracellularly and extracellularly, but also in the macroenvironment via direct and indirect …

FATTY ACID COMPOSITION OF BLACK SEA AND FRESHWATER FISH SPECIES / МАСТНОКИСЕЛИНЕН СЪСТАВ НА ЧЕРНОМОРСКИ И СЛАДКОВОДНИ РИБИ
[eng] Total lipids and fatty acid composition of eleven Black Sea (sprat, goby, shad, horse mackerel, red mullet, turbot, bluefish, anchovy, garfish, grey mullet and bonito) and four freshwater (carp, bighead carp, catfish and trout) commercially important fish species were determined. Seasonal …

Conjugated linoleic acid isomers anti-neuroinflammatory effects on activated microglial cells
… how CLA isomers c9,t11 and t10,c12 influence fatty acid (FA) and N-acylethanolamine (NAE) profiles, along with their relationship with the expression of pro-inflammatory molecules in the BV-2 microglia cell line, which are the resident immune cells in the CNS that play a key role in sustaining …

Nutrient composition and sensory attributes of beef from grain-finished steers and heifers
… Beef is an important source of protein, monounsaturated fatty acids, conjugated linoleic acid, vitamins and minerals. Due to evolutionary changes in production practices and fabrication techniques the current nutrient data in the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference has …

The Synthesis and Characterisation of Long-Chain Fatty Acids
… geometrical and positional isomers of monounsaturated fatty acids. The view that there may be hazards associated with such oils have occasionally been expressed. Prior to an investigation of the levels of such acids in human tissue and UK dietary fats, the synthesis of a series of these …

The effects of a nutrition program with and without aerobic exercise on body weight and composition, plasma variables and nutrient intake in obese black women
… fat (including saturated, polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated fatty acids), dietary cholesterol, and sugar were noted for the study group. A weight-loss program which included diet, nutrition education, behavior modification, stress management and exercise was effective in producing favorable …

Linking whole-grain bread, coffee, and red meat to the risk of type 2 diabetes
… phosphatidylcholines, sphingomyelins, amino acids) were determined in baseline-serum samples. Incident type 2 diabetes cases were assed and validated in an active follow-up procedure. The median follow-up time was 6.6 years. Analytical design: The methodological approach was conceptually …

Regulation of glucose -6 -phosphate dehydrogenase by polyunsaturated fatty acids in cultured rat hepatocytes
… molecular mechanism(s) by which polyunsaturated fatty acids inhibit gene expression of the lipogenic enzymes. The model enzyme which we are using to study this phenomenon is liver glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD). In order to determine if regulation of G6PD occurred at a transcriptional …

Bacon Production: Evaluating Potential Processing and Management Practices to Improve Product Quality of Industrial Sliced Bacon
… were found to be significant, but the amount of monounsaturated fatty acids was of the most significance. Although some predictors were identified, a large amount of variation was still unaccounted for, therefore an audit of an industrial slicing facility was conducted to determine processing …

Effect of Feeding Regimen and Age on Lipid Metabolism in Broiler Breeder Hens and Progeny
… the first trial, the rate of yolk absorption and fatty acid profiles in the yolk were compared among 28, 35, and 49wk old hens. The results revealed that the rate of yolk absorption was higher, but the absolute amount of fatty acids absorbed was lower in young hens than in the old hens. The second …

Protein Utilization and Requirements in Broiler Breeders
… double hierarchies, multiple ovulations, and fatty liver. In an effort to curb excessive body weight gain, both the protein requirements and feeding strategies of broiler breeders are being revisited. A series of studies were conducted to determine the protein and amino acid requirements of …

Morphological and Biochemical Changes of Sand Dollar Larvae in Response to Variation in Diet and Salinity
… of the long chain PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acids), <em>D. tertiolecta</em> had the highest percentage of MUFAs (monounsaturated fatty acids) and <em>I. galbana</em> had the highest percentage of SAFAs (saturated fatty acids). Early larval stages ingested a higher volume of the small …

ALTERNATIVE LIPIDS IN NUTRITION OF MARINE FINFISH
… elevated content of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs; ARA – 20:4n-6, EPA – 20:5n-3, and DHA – 22:6n-3), being a valuable ingredient. Given the finite supply and the growing demand for fish oil its price has increased quite drastically, leading to the search for alternative lipid …

Haematological and nutritional status of Sudanese women with sickle cell trait and anaemia: does sickle cell trait compromise birth outcomes?
… to healthy women with normal haemoglobin (HbAA). Fatty acids levels in sickle cell trait pregnant women: Unexpectedly, pregnant women with sickle cell trait were found to have higher levels of fatty acids, in both the plasma and red blood cells (RBCs), than the control group, both early and late …

Diet and risk of acute myocardial infarction in Bangladesh: The Bangladesh Risk of Acute Vascular Events (BRAVE) study
… a weak inverse association. As for specific fatty acids, modest intakes of saturated fatty acid from dairy sources and polyunsaturated fatty acids were associated with a slightly lower risk of AMI. In contrast monounsaturated fatty acids showed an increased association only in highest …

Effect of dietary fats and antioxidants on the frozen storage life of cooked pork products
… and therefore interfered with the method. The fatty acid composition of bacon fat showed that diet had no significant effect (P > 0.05) in the proportions of total saturated and total monounsaturated fatty acids. Bacon prepared from pigs fed the diet supplemented with vitamin E had higher …
