Hydroxy Fatty Acids in Seed Oils. I.

Ruminant Nutrition: Fats, Fatty Acids, Oils, and Glycerin Supplementation I

Understanding of the bovine fecal microbiome could contribute to solving issues regarding animal production, cattle health and food safety. The objective of this study was to examine the influence of diet on the fecal microbiome in feedlot cattle. The next-generation pyrosequencing technology was used to investigate fecal microbiomes of 426 cattle fed one of 3 diets: finishing diet (83% dry-rol...

High Oleic Plant Oils with Hydroxy Fatty Acids for Emission Reduction

The lubricating properties of vegetable oil are well known. However, with the advent of petroleum oils, castor oil and other vegetable oils fell out of favor. The quality of petroleum oils has improved significantly in the last few years with the introduction of Group III base oils. However, even Group III oils fall short of the inherent lubricity of vegetable oils. Analogous to advances in pet...

I-7: Fatty Acids and Male Reproductive Function

Background Background: The fatty acid composition of the sperm membrane changes drastically during spermatogenesis and may be key to its function. Previous data has shown that intake of long chain poly-unsaturated fatty acids can change the fatty acid composition of tissues, including testes and sperm. However, whether these changes in composition translate into changes in semen quality or male...

Occurrence of 2-hydroxy Fatty Acids in Animal Tissues.

Circulating hydroxy fatty acids in familial Mediterranean fever.

Episodes of fever, serositis, and arthritis in familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) suggested circulating mediators of acute inflammation (e.g., neutrophil activation). The mean serum neutrophil-aggregating activity of 51 FMF patients was 2.5 +/- 0.2 cm2/min, compared to 1.0 +/- 0.1 cm2/min in 20 normal controls (P less than 0.0002). Lipid extracts of FMF sera retained neutrophil-aggregating acti...
