Normalization of Essential-Fatty-Acid-Deficient Keratinocytes Requires Palmitic Acid

Protective Effects of Linoleic Acid against the Cytotoxicity of Palmitic Fatty Acid in Rat Cardiomyocytes

Background & Aims: Lipotoxicity is the process through which accumulation of lipid intermadiates leads to cellular dysfunction. The worldwide prevalence of cardiovascular diseases has been increased dramatically due to lipotoxicity. According to the peformed studies, saturated and unsaturated fatty acids differ significantly in their contributions to lipotoxicity. It has been r...

Intestinal absorption of essential fatty acids under physiological and essential fatty acid-deficient conditions.

The adequate supply of essential fatty acids (EFA) to the body depends upon sufficient dietary intake and subsequent efficient intestinal absorption. Lipid malabsorption is not only a leading cause of EFA deficiency (EFAD), but also occurs secondarily to EFAD. Understanding the relationship between EFAD and lipid malabsorption may be helpful in the development and optimization of oral treatment...

Evaluation of linoleic acid, eladic acid and palmitic acid for cytotoxicity and anti-inflammatory activities

Background and objectives: Nigella sativa seeds have shown to possess anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, trenquillizer, chemopreventive and anti-neoplastic effects. Besides, they areused as nutritional flavoring agents. We have investigated the protective effects of N.  sativa seeds hexane extract and active principles against methyl phenyl pyridine (MP...
