Docosahexaenoic acid content is significantly higher in ghrita prepared by traditional Ayurvedic method
BACKGROUND Ghee (clarified butter) also known as ghrita, has been utilized for thousands of years in Ayurveda. Ghee is mostly prepared by traditional method in Indian households or by direct cream method at industry level. Ayurvedic classics mention that ghrita made from cow milk is superior. However, there is no scientific comparison available on preparation methods and essential fatty acids c...
متن کاملSelective decrease of bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate content in macrophages by high supplementation with docosahexaenoic acid.
Bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate (BMP) is a unique phospholipid (PL) preferentially found in late endosomal membranes, where it forms specialized lipid domains. Recently, using cultured macrophages treated with anti-BMP antibody, we showed that BMP-rich domains are involved in cholesterol homeostasis. We had previously stressed the high propensity of BMP to accumulate docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), c...
متن کاملDocosahexaenoic acid synthesis from alpha-linolenic acid is inhibited by diets high in polyunsaturated fatty acids.
The conversion of the plant-derived omega-3 (n-3) α-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3n-3) to the long-chain eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) can be increased by ALA sufficient diets compared to ALA deficient diets. Diets containing ALA above an optimal level result in no further increase in DHA levels in animals and humans. The present study evaluates means o...
متن کاملEffect of citric acid chelating agent on morphology of ZnO particles prepared by hydrothermal method
Abstract Zinc oxide is one of the most widely used and important materials in today's science and industry. In this study, ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal method. Zinc acetate, citric acid and deionized water was respectively used as a source of zinc ion, solvent and chelating agent. In this study, the effect of citric acid concentration as an additive was studied on morphol...
متن کاملStructural characterization of BaZrO3 nanopowders prepared by stearic acid gel method
Pure barium zirconate nanopowders were successfully prepared in wet-chemistry synthesismethod, using barium stearate and tetra-n-butyl zirconate as Ba, Zr sources and stearic acid ascomplexing reagent. The gel was calcined at 800 and 900 °C in air. Results of thermal analysisare given, including both DTG and TG. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), X-raydiffraction (XRD), transmissio...
