?-123I-Hexadecanoic acid metabolic probe of cardiomypathy

Role of Fatty Acid Imaging with 123I- β-methyl-p-123I- Iodophenyl-Pentadecanoic Acid (123I-BMIPP) in Ischemic Heart Diseases

Conversion of hexadecanoic acid to hexadecenoic acid by rat 6-desaturase

A higher content of C16:1 n-10 has recently been reported in the preputial gland of mice with a targeted disruption of the gene encoding stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1 / mice) when compared with wild-type mice. This result has provided the first physiological evidence for the presence and regulation of a palmitoyl-CoA 6-desaturase in mammals. To investigate the putative involvement of the know...

Bactericidal Activity of the Human Skin Fatty Acid cis-6-Hexadecanoic Acid on Staphylococcus aureus

Human skin fatty acids are a potent aspect of our innate defenses, giving surface protection against potentially invasive organisms. They provide an important parameter in determining the ecology of the skin microflora, and alterations can lead to increased colonization by pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus. Harnessing skin fatty acids may also give a new avenue of exploration in the gener...

Nanoscale lithography mediated by surface self-assembly of 16-[3,5-bis(mercaptomethyl)phenoxy]hexadecanoic acid on Au(111) investigated by scanning probe microscopy.

The solution-phase self-assembly of bidentate 16-[3,5-bis(mercapto-methyl)phenoxy]hexadecanoic acid (BMPHA) on Au(111) was studied using nano-fabrication protocols with scanning probe nanolithography and immersion particle lithography. Molecularly thin films of BMPHA prepared by surface self-assembly have potential application as spatially selective layers in sensor designs. Either monolayer or...

cis-9,10-Methylene hexadecanoic acid from the phospholipids of Escherichia coli.

Hofmann and Lucas (1) discovered a saturated cyclopropane compound in Lactobadlus arabinosus which they termed lactobacillic acid. Lactobacillic acid was found to be &s-11,12methylene octadecanoic acid (2). A survey by Hofmann et al. disclosed that lactobacillic acid is present in several lactic acid bacteria (3) but absent in a group C streptococcus (4). Lactobacillic acid was also found to be...
