Although it is rapidly metabolized in cultured rat hepatocytes, lauric acid is used for protein acylation.
This study was designed to examine the metabolic fate of exogenous lauric acid in cultured rat hepatocytes, in terms of both lipid metabolism and acylation of proteins. Radiolabeled [14C]-lauric acid at 0.1 mM in the culture medium was rapidly taken up by the cells (94.8 +/- 2.2% of the initial radioactivity was cleared from the medium after a 4 h incubation) but its incorporation into cellular...
متن کاملJacaric acid is rapidly metabolized to conjugated linoleic acid in rats.
We have shown previously that jacaric acid (JA; 8c,10t,12c-18:3), which has a conjugated triene system, has a strong anti-tumor effect. However, the characteristics of absorption and metabolism of JA have yet to be determined in vivo, and the details of absorption and metabolism of JA in the small intestine are particularly unclear. This information is required for effective use of JA in humans...
متن کاملMyristic acid increases ∆6-desaturase activity in cultured rat hepatocytes
In order to study the effects of saturated fatty acids on ∆6-desaturase activity, rat hepatocytes in primary culture were incubated with lauric (C12:0), myristic (C14:0) or palmitic (C16:0) acids. After optimization, the standard in vitro conditions for the measurement of ∆6desaturase activity were as follows: 60 μmol·L–1 α-linolenic acid (C18:3n-3), reaction time of 20 min and protein content ...
متن کاملIs it safe for Multiple Sclerosis patients to fast?
Ramadan fasting predispose multiple sclerosis (MS) patients to a great challenge. Clinicians should have practical knowledge about the effects of fasting on MS. A mini-symposium was held in 2013 to answer the common questions about fasting in MS patients. In current review we present a summary of the mentioned mini-symposium.Generally, fasting is possible for most stable MS patients. Thorough m...
متن کاملPossible Diagnostic Improvement for Cutaneous Leishmaniasis: Is It Achievable?
The parasite, Leishmania, is the causative agent of the disease leishmaniasis and is highly endemic in 98 countries spread across the tropics, subtropics and Mediterranean Basin. It is a vector-borne disease transmitted by the bite of infected sand flies, and it appears in three clinical manifestations namely: cutaneous, mucocutaneous, and visceral leishmaniasis. It is known that at least...
