Dr. Novel missense variant L46Q of fatty acid synthase gene and fatty acids content in Awassi sheep

Suppression of fatty acid synthase promoter by polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Dietary polyunsaturated fat is known to suppress expression of fatty acid synthase (FAS), a central enzyme in de novo lipogenesis. The sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) has recently been shown to be involved in this suppression. We previously reported that the first 2.1 kb of the FAS promoter are sufficient for transcriptional induction by a high carbohydrate diet as well as sup...

Fatty Acid Profles of Ram's Sperm after Removing Some Fatty Acid Sources from the Diets and Persistency of Fatty Acids in Sperm

Porcine Fatty Acid Synthase Gene Polymorphisms Are Associated with Meat Quality and Fatty Acid Composition

We assessed the effects of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the porcine fatty acid synthase (FASN) gene regarding meat quality and fatty acid composition in two pig populations: Korean native pigs (KNP) were crossed with Yorkshire (YS) F 2 , and KNP were crossed with Landrace (LR) F 2 . Direct DNA sequencing using eight KNP and eight YS pigs revealed two SNPs: c.265C>T (silent) in ...

Effects of diets enriched in different sources of fatty acids on reproductive performance of Zel sheep

The present study evaluated the effects of diets enriched in saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3and n-6) on reproductive indices, metabolic hormones and metabolites prior to ram introduction in oestrussynchronized ewes. Zel ewes (n=188) were assigned to 4 groups. Ewes in the control group (CON) did notreceive fat. Ewes in the 3 other groups received 3% oil/DM/day of palmolein oil (PL...

Determination of Tocopherols and Fatty Acids in Seeds of

  Background: The dried fruits of Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn (Compositae) contain silymarin, an isomeric mixture of flavonolignans. Silymarin acts as a strong anti -hepatotoxic. This fruits contains a high amount of oil .  Objective: The objective of this study was to determine total lipid content, fatty acid composition and content of different kind of tocopherols in seed oils of S. marianum...
