Triglyceride Synthesis by the Intracellular Level of Long-Chain Acyl Coenzyme A for Lipid Synthesis

Triglyceride and phospholipids are the main constituents of glycerolipids in eucaryotic cells. They are synthesized via a common precursor, phosphatidic acid, although their physiological roles are entirely different. Despite the biological importance of these two lipid classes, little is known about the control mechanism involved in their synthesis. We have shown previously that there are two ...

Absorption of glycine and L-alanine by the human jejunum.

Most, if not all, ingested protein is degraded into amino acids, which are then absorbed. Absorption of amino acids has been studied in intact animals, everted gut sacs, and in other preparations of intestine. These studies have been reviewed recently (1, 2). Comparatively little is known, however, about amino acid absorption in the human. Kuroda and Gimbel (3) showed that when racemic amino ac...

Influence of light absorption rate by Nannochloropsis oculata on triglyceride production during nitrogen starvation.

This study aims to understand the role of light transfer in triglyceride fatty-acid (TG-FA) cell content and productivity from microalgae during nitrogen starvation. Large amounts of TG-FA can be produced via nitrogen starvation of microalgae in photobioreactors exposed to intense light. First, spectral absorption and scattering cross-sections of N. oculata were measured at different times duri...

Absorption of triglyceride by human small intestine: dose-response relationships.

Healthy subjects with ileostomies (ileostomates) were fed six breakfasts of 5-100 g linseed oil. This lipid source was chosen so that linolenic acid could be used as a fatty acid probe. Phenol red was included in the meal so that mouth-to-stoma transit could be measured as the t 1/2 of phenol red. Ileostomy effluent was collected over 24 h and the dose of lipid ingested was related to lipid out...
