Identification of NaK-ATPase inhibitors in human plasma as nonesterified fatty acids and lysophospholipids.

Plasma nonesterified fatty acids in hyperthyroid states.

Quantitative extraction and determination of nonesterified fatty acids in plasma.

A method is described for the determination of nonesterified fatty acids in plasma. Extraction is at least 98% efficient, and losses during subsequent stages are corrected for by the use of an internal radioactive standard. The method is suitable for reference purposes rather than for routine determinations. Higher values are obtained than by other methods of analysis, and it is suggested that ...

Plasma Nonesterified Fatty Acids in the Dahl Rat

The link between dietary salt intake and the development of hypertension in the saltsensitive Dahl strain of rats remains elusive. There is evidence that Dahl salt-sensitive rats (DS) produce less vasodilator and natriuretic prostaglandins in response to salt loading than do control saltresistant rats (DR), although the reason for this blunted response is unknown. We examined the effects of chr...

Milk fatty acids as possible biomarkers to early diagnose elevated concentrations of blood plasma nonesterified fatty acids in dairy cows.

Most cows encounter a state of negative energy balance during the periparturient period, which may lead to metabolic disorders and impaired fertility. The aim of this study was to assess the potential of milk fatty acids as diagnostic tools of detrimental levels of blood plasma nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA), defined as NEFA concentrations beyond 0.6 mmol/L, in a data set of 92 early lactatin...

Plasma Fatty Acid–Binding Protein 4, Nonesterified Fatty Acids, and Incident Diabetes in Older Adults

OBJECTIVE To examine the relation of fatty acid-binding protein (FABP)4 and nonesterified fatty acids (NEFAs) to diabetes in older adults. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We ascertained incident diabetes among 3,740 Cardiovascular Health Study participants (1992-2007) based on the use of hypoglycemic medications, fasting glucose ≥ 126 mg/dL, or nonfasting glucose ≥ 200 mg/dL. FABP4 and NEFA were ...
