Monounsaturated Fatty Acids in Birds
23 The evolution of lifespan is a central question in evolutionary biology, begging the question why 24 there is so large variation among taxa. Specifically, a central quest is to unravel proximate causes of 25 ageing. Here we show that the degree of unsaturation of liver fatty acids predicts maximum lifespan 26 in 107 bird species. In these birds, the degree of fatty acid unsaturation is posit...
متن کاملMonounsaturated fats and immune function.
Animal studies suggest that olive oil is capable of modulating functions of cells of the immune system in a manner similar to, albeit weaker than, fish oils. There is some evidence that the effects of olive oil on immune function in animal studies are due to oleic acid rather than to trace elements or antioxidants. Importantly, several studies have demonstrated effects of oleic acid-containing ...
متن کاملAvocados (monounsaturated fatty acids), weight loss and serum lipids
The consumption of diets enriched with monounsaturated fatty acids have been related to a lower rate of coronary heart disease, mainly due to their positive effects on serum lipids. The avocado is a fruit rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and other nutrients, offering protection against coronary heart disease. This article will review the scientific evidence on avocados, and their impact on w...
متن کاملDistinct effects of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids on beta-cell turnover and function.
Glucotoxicity and lipotoxicity contribute to the impaired beta-cell function observed in type 2 diabetes. Here we examine the effect of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids at different glucose concentrations on beta-cell proliferation and apoptosis. Adult rat pancreatic islets were cultured onto plates coated with extracellular matrix derived from bovine corneal endothelial cells. Exposure of...
متن کاملKinetics of Saturated, Monounsaturated, and Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Humans
Plasma free fatty acid (FFA) kinetics in humans are often measured with only one tracer. In study 1, healthy volunteers received infusions of [U-¹³C]linoleate, [U-¹³C]oleate, and [U-¹³C]palmitate during continuous feeding with liquid meals low (n = 12) and high (n = 5) in palmitate and containing three labeled fatty acids to measure FFA appearance and fractional spillover of lipoprotein lipase-...
