Interactions of very long-chain saturated fatty acids with serum albumin.
The remarkable binding properties of serum albumin have been investigated extensively, but little is known about an important class of fatty acids, the very long-chain saturated fatty acids (VLCFA; >18 carbons). Although VLCFA are metabolized efficiently in normal individuals, they are markers for and possibly causative agents of several peroxisomal disorders. We studied the binding of [(13)C]c...
متن کاملGenetic loci associated with circulating levels of very long-chain saturated fatty acids[S]
Very long-chain saturated fatty acids (VLSFAs) are saturated fatty acids with 20 or more carbons. In contrast to the more abundant saturated fatty acids, such as palmitic acid, there is growing evidence that circulating VLSFAs may have beneficial biological properties. Whether genetic factors influence circulating levels of VLSFAs is not known. We investigated the association of common genetic ...
متن کاملFatty Acids: Straight-chain Saturated
Straightor normal-chain, saturated components (even-numbered) make up 10-40% of the total fatty acids in most natural lipids. The most abundant saturated fatty acids in animal and plant tissues are straight-chain compounds with 14, 16 and 18 carbon atoms, but all the possible oddand even-numbered homologues with 2 to 36 carbon atoms have been found in nature in esterified form. They are named s...
متن کاملSaturated Very Long Chain Fatty Acids Are Required for the Production of Infectious Human Cytomegalovirus Progeny
Human cytomegalovirus hijacks host cell metabolism, increasing the flux of carbon from glucose to malonyl-CoA, the committed precursor to fatty acid synthesis and elongation. Inhibition of acetyl-CoA carboxylase blocks the production of progeny virus. To probe further the role of fatty acid metabolism during infection, we performed an siRNA screen to identify host cell metabolic enzymes needed ...
متن کاملAbsorption of very-long-chain saturated fatty acids in totally hydrogenated fish oil.
Partially hydrogenated fish oil (PHFO) contains a high amount of trans fatty acids (TFA). Total hydrogenation results in a minimal amount of TFA, but a high content of very-long-chain saturated fatty acids (VLCSFA). Absorption and metabolism of VLCSFA from totally hydrogenated fish oil (THFO) were studied in rats. Groups of eight rats were fed one of four diets containing 40 g soyabean oil (SBO...
