Cysteine Derivatized 99mTc-Labelled Fatty Acids as β-Oxidation Markers

Oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids

Plant leaf systems have been incubated under various conditions with uniformly labeled oleic acid, and the breakdown products identified by gas-liquid chromatography. Young green leaves of the castor plant (Ricinis gibsonii) and of the field pea plant (Pisum sutiuum) catabolize oleic acid by an oxygen-requiring pathway to heptadec-8-enaI which is then dehydrogenated by an NAD-coupled mechanism ...

In vivo oxidation of carboxyl-labelled cyclic fatty acids formed from linoleic and linolenic acids in the rat.

Cyclic fatty acid monomers (CFAM), which occur from the intramolecular cyclisation of linoleic and linolenic acids, are subsequently present in some edible oils and are suspected to induce metabolic disorders. One may suggest that the presence of a ring would alter the ability of the organism to oxidise these molecules. In order to test this hypothesis, we assessed the oxidative metabolism of C...

The Oxidation of Branched Chain Fatty Acids

It is noteworthy that while the majority of fatty acids occurring in nature belong to the normal series, those composed of more than twenty-two carbon atoms contain at least one tertiary carbon atom in their molecu1e.l The structure of these acids is entirely unknown. The problem of their structure naturally is identical with that of the location of t,he tertiary carbon atom. in the molecule. T...
